If Paul McCartney were on the last Colbert... [View all]

...I'd like him to sing something like this:

Yesterday
All the bad news seemed a smile away
Now I don’t know what I’ll do today
Oh I remember yesterday

Why you have to go
I don’t know
They wouldn’t say
Maybe you said something wrong?
Well so much for yesterday

Yesterday
Laughs were such an easy game to play
But the laughs will always find a way
So say goodbye to yesterday
