Love
Lyrics:
I am he as
you are he as you are me
And we are all together
See how they run like pigs from a gun
See how they fly, I'm crying
Sitting on a
corn flake
Waiting for the van to come
Corporation T-shirt, stupid bloody Tuesday
Man you've been a naughty boy
You let your face grow long
I am the
eggman
They are the eggmen
I am the walrus
Coo coo cuchoo
Mr. City
policeman sitting
Pretty little policemen in a row
See how they fly like Lucy in the sky
See how they run, I'm crying
I'm crying,
I'm crying, I'm crying
Yellow
matter custard
Dripping from a dead dog's eye
Crabalocker fishwife
Pornographic priestess
Boy, you've been a naughty girl
You let your knickers down
I am the
eggman
They are the eggmen
I am the walrus
Coo coo cuchoo
Sitting in
an English garden
Waiting for the sun
If the sun don't come you get a tan
From standing in the English rain
I am the
eggman
They are the eggmen
I am the walrus
Coo coo cuchoo
C-coo coo cuchoo
Expert,
texpert choking smokers
Don't you think the joker laughs at you?
(Ha ha ha! He he he! Ha ha ha!)
See how they smile like pigs in a sty
See how they snide, I'm crying
Semolina
pilchard climbing up the Eiffel tower
Elementary penguin singing Hare Krishna
Man, you should have seen them kicking
Edgar Allan Poe
I am the
eggman
They are the eggman
I am the walrus
Coo coo cuchoo ,
coo coo cuchoo,
coo coo cuchoo,
coo coo cuchoo,
coo coo cuchoo
