I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together
See how they run like pigs from a gun
See how they fly
I'm crying

Sitting on a cornflake
Waiting for the van to come
Corporation T-shirt
Stupid bloody Tuesday
Man, you've been a naughty boy
You let your face grow long

I am the Eggman (whoo!)
They are the Eggmen (whoo!)
I am the Walrus
Goo goo g'joob

Mister city policeman sitting
Pretty little policemen in a row
See how they fly like [[The Beatles:Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds|Lucy in the sky]]
See how they run
I'm crying
I'm cry-'-ng (Ahhh!)
I'm crying
I'm cry-'- (whoooo!)

Yellow matter custard
Dripping from a dead dog's eye
Crabalocker fishwife
Pornographic priestess
Boy, you've been a naughty girl
You let your knickers down

I am the Eggman
They are the Eggmen
I am the Walrus
Goo goo g'joob

Sitting in an English garden
Waiting for the sun
If the sun don't come
You get a tan from standing in the English rain

I am the Eggman (''Now, good sir, ...'')
They are the Eggmen (''... poor man, made tame to fortune's...'')
I am the Walrus
Goo goo g'joob goo goo g'joob

Expert texpert, choking smokers
Don't you think the joker laughs at you?
(Ho-ho-ho! Hee-hee-hee! Ha-ha-ha!)
See how they smile like pigs in a sty
See how they schnied
I'm crying

Semolina Pilchard
Climbing up the Eiffel Tower
Elementary penguin singing Hare Krishna
Man, you should've seen them kicking
Edgar Allan Poe

I am the Eggman (whoo!)
They are the Eggmen (whoo!)
I am the Walrus (whoo!)

Your trivial trivia for the day:
While not quite an exact match for "Goo goo g'joo", which song from the same era included the lyrics "Coo, coo, ca-choo"?   No Googling allowed!   ; )

Another example is the end of 'Echoes' by Pink Floyd.  It's also extensively used in the movie 'Dunkirk'.

Not that I condone fascism, or any ism for that matter. Isms in my opinion are not good. A person should not believe in an ism - he should believe in himself. I quote John Lennon: "I don't believe in Beatles - I just believe in me". A good point there. Of course, he was the Walrus. I could be the Walrus - I'd still have to bum rides off of people. - Ferris Bueller






Update Pal   The fascist anarchists aren't socialists any more and they're not european, they're your own home-grown  radical Republicans! Long live The Beatles!!

I watched this and HELP! on TV, a 19 in. "portable" B&W TV set. No color (or colour) TV in our house till after I came home on leave in 1978.

You were lucky to have friends with a color TV, though color is overrated.

. . . do not forget GEORGE MARTIN (Genius++)


From Wiki:
Many Beatles biographers characterise the group's post-Sgt. Pepper recording sessions of 1967 as aimless and undisciplined. [23] The Beatles' use of psychedelic drugs such as LSD was at its height during that summer [24] and, in author Ian MacDonald's view, this resulted in a lack of judgment in their recordings as the band embraced randomness and sonic experimentation. [23][nb 2] George Martin, the group's producer, chose to distance himself from their work at this time; he said that much of the Magical Mystery Tour recording was "disorganised chaos". Ken Scott, who became their senior recording engineer during the sessions, recalled, "the Beatles had taken over things so much that I was more their right-hand man than George Martin's".

Posted 5 years ago by RobN    [ Reply ]
Normally I had no time for Lennon even when he was alive, but this is an exception. As teens we used to wonder about the meanings behind the bonkers lyrics, but with age I've come to realise that the whole song is pure wordplay, saying any old thing ("semolina pilchard", "yellow matter custard") purely to fit into the rhythm and rhyme. It's just plain fun, with no hidden depths, just open shallows. A rare 7 from the Nottingham jury for a Lennon song.

As a kid I always heard that as serviceable militant. And "rest you" sounded like "RESCUE!" Great when you're wondering if Paul is dead.

Which he is.

This track was originally inspired , musically , by the sound of an old police car siren....the man that witnessed this was Hunter Davies...he describes in his book how as he's trying to interview Lennon....who is swimming in his Weybridge pool....and Lennon says..."Sure , as long as long you don't talk to me...."....He'd been up late tripping and he tuned into the oscillating of the neh neh neh neh of the Police car...and wrote the first lines...i am you as you are me....to fit the rhythm of the passing siren.

For real: What is semolina pilchard?  

Opinion #1:  "Semolina Pilchard was Detective Sergeant Norman Pilcher, head of the Scotland Yard Drugs Unit.  He led the arrests of both John Lennon and Brian Jones et al, before being investigated himself for blackmail and bribery in the '70s."
 
Opinion #2:  "Semolina Pilchard is NOT a reference to Norman Pilcher.  Proof: I Am The Walrus was released before the end of 1967.   Lennon probably wrote it by the end of summer that year.  Norman Pilcher arrested Lennon on October 18, 1968.  One year after Lennon wrote the song.  Pilcher had only been transferred to the Drug Squad in late 1967.   By the time Lennon wrote the song, he probably wasn't even in the Drug Squad. So, that is a total urban myth."

Opinion #3:  Pilchard is what Brits call sardines and semolina is the heart of durum wheat used to make pasta, bread, pudding and couscous.  So John wanted sardine-flavored pudding.

 
I want to know why they used a clip from King Lear ("...O, untimely death"..."serviceable villain"..."Sit you down father; rest you").

There was a small cottage industry focused on deciphering Beatles and Bob Dylan songs back in the day. 

5/17/14 edit: I am Bill Goldsmith's Pavlovian dog: as soon as The Pixies "Where is My Mind" echoed off, I started salivating for "I Am The Walrus." And I got the biscuit. A great segue deserves repeated use, and this is one of the best.

There was so much more to the British and European invasion than just "the beatles". Please spare me, I have had the knife poised for so long and every time I hear "the beatles" I just don't know if I can restrain myself anymore. And for God's (or deity of choice) sake please don't make me listen to people like Yo-Yo Ma wasting his talent doing covers of "the beatles". William Shatner, ok, just not anybody with real talent.

I'm crying, I'm crying.
I'm crying, I'm crying. Yellow matter custard, dripping from a dead dog's eye.
Crabalocker fishwife, pornographic priestess,
Boy, you been a naughty girl you let your knickers down.
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen.
I am the walrus, coo coo ca-choo. Sitting in an English garden waiting for the sun.
If the sun don't come, you get a tan
From standing in the English rain.
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen.
I am the walrus, coo coo ca-choo coo coo ca-choo. Expert textpert choking smokers,
Don't you think the joker laughs at you?
See how they smile like pigs in a sty,
See how they snied.
I'm crying. Semolina pilchard, climbing up the Eiffel Tower.
Elementary penguin singing Hari Krishna.
Man, you should have seen them kicking Edgar Allan Poe.
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen.
I am the walrus, coo coo ca-choo c-coo coo ca-choo coo coo
ca-choo coo coo ca-choo...

"Where is my mind" followed by this... Bill you have my mind!? Or perhaps I left it in my other jacket and this is all just a giant coincidence?

" I am the Egg Man.  They are the Egg Men.  I am the Walrus, koo-koo-ka-joo."  Don't tell ME they couldn't write lyrics back in the day!

So, I completed my Beatles catalog by purchasing whatever albums I still didn't own from iTunes, put all of them in a folder and have been listening to them at random for several days now. Really, not a weak song in the group and when they put their energies into writing songs for a complete album they were brilliant. In 1963 there wasn't a band in the world that could string together the amount of gems that went into Hard Days Night. And then, with Help! on everything is pure genius. I'm constantly struck by how much I still enjoy songs that I've listened to 1,000 times or more. What would we do without them?

We have a Beatles tribute band called 'The Eggmen'. I have not seen them but have heard they are very, very good.

John Lennon wrote songs from an absurdest viewpoint, in that his view was if you make something of something that ordinarily isn't anything then something else will inevitably become!     {#Yes}

Well, they stopped touring in late '66 and "sgt peppers"/"magical mystery tour" was released in '67, so....
