Ballad of John and Yoko
The Beatles
Standing in the dock at Southampton Trying to get to Holland Or France The Man In the Mac said You gotta go back you know they didnt even give us a chance christ you know it aint easy you know how hard it can be the way things are going ... theyre gonna crucify me. Finally made the plane into paris honeymooning down by the seine peter brown called to say you can make it ok you can get married in gibraltar near spain ... christ you know it aint easy... (etc.) Drove from paris to the amsterdam hilton talking in our beds for a week the newspapers said what are you doing in bed i said we're only trying to get us some peace ... christ you know it aint easy...etc saving all your money for a rainy day giving all your clothes to charity last nite the wife said oh boy when youre dead You dont take nothing with you but your soul Think ! Made a lightning trip to Vienna Eating chocolate cake in a bag The newspapers said, "She's gone to his head They look just like two gurus in drag" Refrain Caught the early plane back to London Fifty acorns tied in a sack The men from the press say "We wish you success It's good to have the both of you back" Refrain
