Ballad Of John And Yoko lyrics

The Beatles - The Ballad Of John And Yoko

Standing in the dock at Southampton,
Trying to get to Holland or France.
The man in the mac said, `You`ve got to turn back`.
You know they 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 going to crucify me.
Finally made the plane into Paris,
Honey mooning down by the Seine.
Peter Brown called to say,
`You can make it O.K.,
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 going to crucify me.
Drove from Paris to the Amsterdam Hilton,
Talking in our beds for a week.
The newspapers said, `Say what you doing 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 going to crucify me.
Saving up your money for a rainy day,
Giving all your clothes to charity.
Last night the wife said,
`Oh boy, when you`re dead
You don`t 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`.
Christ you know it ain`t easy,
You know how hard it can be.
The way things are going
They`re going to crucify me.
Caught an 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 going to crucify me.
The way things are going
They`re going to crucify me
