The Ballad Of John And Yoko

The Ballad Of

John And Yoko
Standin' at the dock at Southampton
Tryin' to get to Holland or France
The man in the mac
said you've gotta go back
You know he didn't even give us a chance


Christ, you know it ain't easy
You know how hard it can be
The way things are going
They're gonna crucify me


Finally made a plane into Paris
Honeymoonin' down by the Seine
Peter Brown called to say
You can make it okay
You can get married in Gibraltar near Spain


Christ, you know it ain't easy
You know how hard it can be
The way things are going
They're gonna cruicfy me


Drove from Paris to the Amsterdam Hilton
Talkin' in our beds for a week
The newspapers said
Say what you doin' in bed?
I said we're only trying
to get us some peace


Christ you know it ain't easy
You know how hard it can be
The way things are going
They're gonna crucify me


Savin' up your money for a rainy day
Givin' all your clothes to charity
Last night the wife said
Oh, boy when you're dead
You don't take nothin' with you
But your soul...THINK!!


Made a lightnin' trip to Vienna
Eating chocolate cake in a bag
Newspaper said she's gone to his head
They look just like two gurus in drag


Christ, you know it ain't easy
You know how hard it can be
The way things are going
They're gonna crucify me


Caught the early plane back to London
Fifty acorns tied in a sack
The men from the press said
We wish you success
It's good to have the both of you back


Christ, you know it ain't easy
You know how hard it can be
The way things are going
They're gonna crucify me
The way things are going
They're gonna crucify me
