I Am the Walrus

The Beatles

I am he as you're he as you are me
And we are all collectively
See how they run like pigs from a gun
See how they fly


Sitting on a corn flake
Waiting for the van to come back
Corporation T-blouse, silly bloody Tuesday
Man you've got been a naughty boy
You let your face develop long

I am the egg man
They are the egg men
I am the walrus
Goo goo g'joob

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 count number custard
Dripping from a lifeless canine's eye
Crabalocker fishwife, pornographic priestess
Boy, you've got been a naughty girl
You let your knickers down

I am the egg guy
They are the egg men
I am the walrus
Goo goo g'joob

Sitting in an English garden
Waiting for the sun
If the sun do not come you get a tan
From standing within the English rain

I am the egg man (How do you do sir?)
They are the egg men (The guy continues a fortune)
I am the walrus
Goo goo g'joob, goo goo goo g'joob

Expert, texpert choking people who smoke
Don't you believe you studied the joker laughs at you (Ho ho ho, hee hee hee, hah hah hah)
See how they smile like pigs in a sty
See how they snide
I'm crying
Climbing up the Eiffel tower
Elementary penguin singing Hare Krishna
Man, you must have seen them kicking Edgar Allen Poe
