Lyrics for The Ballad of John and Yoko by The Beatles
Songwriters: Mccartney, Paul; Lennon, John
Giving all your clothes to charity
Peter Brown called to say, “You can make it O.K.
They're going to crucify me
Christ! You know it ain't easy
The way things are going
Eating chocolate cake in a bag
You don't take nothing with you but your soul, think!”
Christ! You know it ain't easy
Christ! You know it ain't easy
Caught the early plane back to London
You know they didn't even give us a chance
They're going to crucify me
The way things are going
Honeymooning down by the Seine
You know how hard it can be
The way things are going
Christ! You know it ain't easy
The man in the mac said, “You've got to go back”
Fifty acorns tied in a sack
Drove from Paris to the Amsterdam Hilton
You know how hard it can be
They're going to crucify me
Finally made the plane into Paris
I said, “We're only trying to get us some peace!”
You know how hard it can be
The news people said, “Say, what're you doing in bed?”
The way things are going
The men from the press said, “We wish you success
Last night the wife said, “Oh boy, when you're dead
The way things are going
Talking in our beds for a week
They're going to crucify me
Made a lightning trip to Vienna
You can get married in Gibraltar near Spain”
They look just like two gurus in drag”
They're going to crucify me
The newspapers said, “She's gone to his head
You know how hard it can be
You know how hard it can be
Christ! You know it ain't easy
The way things are going
It's good to have the both of you back”
Saving up your money for a rainy day
