Yoko Ono

Flew in from Miami Beach B.O.A.C.,
Didn't get to bed last night.
On the way the paper bag was on my knee,
Man, I had a dreadful flight.

I'm back in the U.S.S.R.
You don't know how lucky you are boy,
Back in the U.S.S.R.

Been away so long I hardly knew the place,
Gee, it's good to be back home.
Leave it till tomorrow to unpack my case,
Honey disconnect the phone.

I'm back in the U.S.S.R.
You don't know how lucky you are boy,
Back in the U.S., back in the U.S., back in the U.S.S.R.

Well, the Ukraine girls really knock me out,
They leave the West behind.
And Moscow girls make me sing and shout,
That Georgia's always on my mi- mi- mi- mi- mi- mi- mi- mi- mind.

I'm back in the U.S.S.R.

That Georgia's always on my mi- mi- mi- mi- mi- mi- mi- mi- mind.

Show me 'round your snow peaked mountains way down south,
Take me to your daddy's farm.
Let me hear your balalaikas ringing out,
Come and keep your comrade warm.

You don't know how lucky you are boy,
Back in the U.S.S.R.

To see how the other half live,
Looking through a glass onion.

You know that we're as close as can be, man.
Well, here's another clue for you all,
The walrus was Paul.
Standing on a cast iron shore, yeah,
Lady Madonna trying to make ends meet, yeah,
Looking through a glass onion.

She's not a girl who misses much
Do do do do do do do do
She's well acquainted with the touch of the velvet hand
Like a lizard on a window pane.
The man in the crowd with the multicoloured mirrors
On his hobnail boots
Lying with his eyes while his hands are busy
Working overtime
A soap impression of his wife which he ate
And donated to the Nation Trust.
I need a fix 'cause I'm going down
Down to the bits that I left uptown
I need a fix cause I'm going down

When I hold you in my arms
And I feel my finger on your trigger

Because happiness is a warm gun

She was a working girl, north of England way.
Now she's hit the big time, in the U.S.A.
And if she could only hear me, this is what I'd say...

Honey pie, you are making me crazy,
I'm in love but I'm lazy, so won't you please come home.

Oh honey pie, my position is tragic,
Come and show me the magic, of your Hollywood song.

You became a legend of the silver screen,
And now the thought of meeting you makes me weak in the knees.

Oh honey pie, you are driving me frantic,
Sail across the Atlantic, to be where you belong.

Honey pie, come back to me.

(I like it like that, ooh, ah!)
I like this kind of hot kind of music,
Hot kind of music, play it to me, play it to me, Hollywood blues.

Will the wind that blew her boat across the sea,
Kindly send her sailing back to me.

T-T-Tee

Oh honey pie, you are making me crazy,
I'm in love but I'm lazy, so won't you please come home.

Come, Come back to me, oh honey pie...
Honey pie, honey pie

Who knows how long I've loved you
You Know I love you still
Will I wait a lonely lifetime
If you want me to I WILL
For if I ever saw you
I didn't catch your name
But it never really mattered
I will always feel the same
Love you forever and forever
Love you with all my heart
Love you whenever we're together
Love you when we're apart
And when at last I find you
Your song will fill the air
Sing it loud so I can hear you
Make it easy to be near you
For the things you do endear you to me
You know I will I will

I'm so tired, I haven't slept a wink
I'm so tired, my mind is on the blink
I wonder should I get up and fix myself a drink
No,no,no.

I'm so tired I don't know what to do
I'm so tired my mind is set on you
I wonder should I call you but I know what you'd do

You'd say I'm putting you on
But it's no joke, it's doing me harm
You know I can't sleep, I can't stop my brain
You know it's three weeks, I'm going insane
You know I'd give you everything I've got
for a little peace of mind

I'm so tired, I'm feeling so upset
Although I'm so tired I'll have another cigarette
And curse Sir Walter Raleigh
He was such a stupid get.

Half of what I say is meaningless But I say it just to reach you Julia, Julia, Julia ocean child calls me So I sing a song of love Julia Julia Seashell eyes, windy smile calls me So I sing a song of love Julia Her hair of floating sky is shimmering Glimmering in the sun Julia, Julia Morning moon touch me So I sing a song of love Julia When I cannot sing my heart I can only speak my mind Julia Julia Sleeping sand, silent cloud touch me So I sing a song of love Julia Hum, calls me So I sing a song of love for Julia, Julia, Julia

Born a poor young country boy, Mother Nature's son.
All day long I'm sitting singing songs for everyone.

Sit beside a mountain stream, see her waters rise.
Listen to the pretty sound of music as she flies.

Du, du, du, du, du, du, du, du, du, du, du.
Du, du, du, du, du, du, du, du, du, du, du...

Find me in my field of grass, Mother Nature's son.
Swaying dasies sing a lazy song beneath the sun.

Du, du, du, du, du, du, du, du, du, du, du.
Du, du, du, du, du, du, du, du, du, du, du...

Mm... Mother Nature's son...

And as he gives it to her she begins to sing.

With a couple of kids running in the yards,

And in the evening she still sings it with the band.

Have you seen the little piggies,
Crawling in the dirt?
And for all the little piggies,
Life is getting worse.
Always having dirt to play around in.

Have you seen the bigger piggies,
In their starched white shirts?
You will find the bigger piggies,
Stirring up the dirt.
Always have clean shirts to play around in.

In their styles with all their backing,
They don't care what goes on around.
In their eyes there's something lacking,
What they need's a darn good whacking!

Everywhere there's lots of piggies,
Living piggy lives.
You can see them out for dinner,
With their piggy wives.
Clutching forks and knives to eat their bacon!

Now somewhere in the black mountain hills of Dakota
There lived a young boy named Rocky Raccoon
And one day his woman ran off with another guy
Hit young Rocky in the eye
Rocky didn't like that
He said I'm gonna get that boy

So one day he walked into town
Booked himself a room in the local saloon

Rocky Raccoon checked into his room
Only to find Gideon's Bible
Rocky had come equipped with a gun
To shoot off the legs of his rival
His rival it seems had broken his dreams
By stealing the girl of his fancy

Her name was Magil and she called herself Lil
But everyone knew her as Nancy
Now she and her man who called himself Dan
Were in the next room at the hoe down

Rocky burst in and grinning a grin
He said Danny boy this is a showdown
But Daniel was hot, he drew first and shot
And Rocky collapsed in the corner

Da da da da...

Now the doctor came in stinking of gin
And proceeded to lie on the table
He said Rocky you met your match
And Rocky said, Doc it's only a scratch
And I'll be better, I'll be better doc as soon as I am able

Now Rocky Raccoon he fell back in his room
Only to find Gideon's Bible
Gideon checked out and he left it no doubt
To help with good Rocky's revival- ahhh!

doo do de da... c'mon Rocky boy...

Creme tangerine and montelimat
A ginger sling with a pineapple heart
A coffee dessert--yes you know it's good news
But you'll have to have them all pulled out
After the Savoy truffle.

Cool cherry cream and a nice apple tart
I feel your taste all the time we're apart
Coconut fudge--really blows down those blues
But you'll have to have them all pulled out
After the Savoy truffle.

You might not feel it now
But when the pain cuts through
You're going to know and how
The sweat is going to fill your head
When it becomes too much
You're going to shout aloud
--Creme tangerine.

You know that what you eat you are,
But what is sweet now, turns so sour--
We all know Obla-Di-Bla-Da
But can you show me, where you are?..

Creme tangerine and montelimat
A ginger sling with a pineapple heart
A coffee dessert--yes you know its good news
But you'll have to have them all pulled out
After the Savoy truffle.

and the greatest of them all

Ha, She made a fool of everyone

Hey Bungalow Bill, what did you kill, Bungalow Bill?
Hey Bungalow Bill, what did you kill, Bungalow Bill?

He went out tiger hunting with his elephant and gun.
In case of accidents he always took his mum.
He's the all-American bullet-headed Saxon mother's son.
All the children sing!

Hey Bungalow Bill, what did you kill, Bungalow Bill?
Hey Bungalow Bill, what did you kill, Bungalow Bill?

Deep in the jungle where the mighty tiger lies.
Bill and his elephants were taken by surprise.
So Captain Marvel zapped him right between the eyes.
All the children sing!

Hey Bungalow Bill, what did you kill, Bungalow Bill?
Hey Bungalow Bill, what did you kill, Bungalow Bill?

The children asked him if to kill was not a sin.
"Not when he looked so fierce", his mummy butted in.
If looks could kill it would've been us instead of him.
All the children sing!

Hey Bungalow Bill, what did you kill, Bungalow Bill?
Hey Bungalow Bill, what did you kill, Bungalow Bill?

I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping,
Still my guitar gently weeps
I don't know why nobody told you
how to unfold your love
I don't know how someone controlled you,
They bought and sold you.
I look at the world and I notice it's turning,
While my guitar gently weeps
With every mistake we must surely be learning,
Still my guitar gently weeps
I don't know how you were diverted,
You were perverted too
I don't know how you were inverted,
No one alerted you.
I look at you all see the love
there that's sleeping,
While my guitar gently weeps
Look at you all,
Still my guitar gently weeps

Honey pie, honey pie Honey pie, honey pie Honey pie, honey pie Honey pie, honey pie I love you honey pie

Temperature's rising
Fever is high
Can't see no future
Can't see no sky
My feet are so heavy
So is my head
I wish I was a baby
I wish I was dead

Cold turkey has got me on the run

My body is aching
Goose-pimple bone
Can't see no body
Leave me alone

My eyes are wide open
Can't get to sleep
One thing I'm sure of
I'm in at the deep freeze

Cold turkey has got me on the run

Cold turkey has got me on the run

Thirty-six hours
Rolling in pain
Praying to someone
Free me again

Oh I'll be a good boy
Please make me well
I promise you anything
Get me out of this hell

Cold turkey has got me on the run
Oh, oh, oh, oh

You can shine your shoes and wear a suit
You can comb your hair and look quite cute
You can hide your face behind a smile
One thing you can't hide
is when you're crippled inside

You can wear a mask and paint your face
You can call yourself the human race
You can wear a collar and a tie
One thing you can't hide
is when you're crippled inside

Well now you know that your cat had nine lives babe
Nine lives to itself
But you only got one
And a dog's life ain't fun
Mamma take a look outside.

You can go to church and sing a hymn
Judge me by the colour of my skin
You can live a lie until you die
One thing you can't hide
is when you're crippled inside.

Judge me by the colour of my skin
You can live a lie until you die
One thing you can't hide
is when you're crippled inside.

I'm sick and tired of hearing things
From uptight, short-sighted, narrow-minded hypocritics
All I want is the truth
Just gimme some truth
I've had enough of reading things
By neurotic, psychotic, pig-headed politicians
All I want is the truth
Just gimme some truth

No short-haired, yellow-bellied, son of tricky dicky
Is gonna mother hubbard soft soap me
With just a pocketful of hope
Money for dope
Money for rope

No short-haired, yellow-bellied, son of tricky dicky
Is gonna mother hubbard soft soap me
With just a pocketful of hope
Money for dope

I'm sick to death of seeing things
From tight-lipped, condescending, mama's little chauvinists
All I want is the truth
Just gimme some truth now

I've had enough of watching scenes
Of schizophrenic, ego-centric, paranoiac, prima-donnas
All I want is the truth now

Is gonna mother hubbard soft soap me
With just a pocketful of hope
It's money for dope
Money for rope

How can I go forward when I don't know which way I'm facing?
How can I go forward when I don't know which way to turn?
How can I go forward into something I'm not sure of?
Oh no, oh no

How can I have feeling when I don't know if it's a feeling?
How can I feel something if I just don't know how to feel?
How can I have feelings when my feelings have always been denied?
Oh no, oh no

You know life can be long
And you got to be so strong
And the world is so tough
Sometimes I feel I've had enough

How can I give love when I don't know what it is I'm giving?
How can I give love when I just don't know how to give?
How can I give love when love is something I ain't never had?
Oh no, oh no

You know life can be long
You've got to be so strong
And the world she is tough
Sometimes I feel I've had enough

How can we go forward when we don't know which way we're facing?
How can we go forward when we don't know which way to turn?
How can we go forward into something we're not sure of?
Oh no, oh no

So Sgt. Pepper took you by surprise,
You better see right through that mother's eyes.
Those freaks was right when they said you was dead.
The one mistake you made was in your head.

Tell me, how do you sleep?
Tell me, how do you sleep at night?

You live with straights who tell you you was king.
Jump when your momma tell you any thing.
The only thing you done was Yesterday,
And since your gone you're just another day.

Tell me, how do you sleep at night?
Tell me, how do you sleep at night?

Ah, how do you sleep at night?

A pretty face may last a year or two,
But pretty soon they'll see what you can do.
The sound you make is Muzak to my ears.
You must have learned something in all those years.

Ah, how do you sleep, brother?
Ah, tell me how do you sleep at night?
