Performance, then play I am the
Walrus. (The first one was in

Well, it's one for the money,
Two for the show,

You better run for your life if you can, little girl
Hide your head in the sand little girl
Catch you with another man
That's the end ah little girl

1965

Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with
one hand waving free
Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus
sands
With all memory and fate driven deep beneath
the waves
Let me forget about today until tomorrow.


1967
Picture yourself in a boat on a river
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes


1968
Everybody's got something to hide except for
me and my monkey

1969
Sweet Loretta Martin thought she was a
woman
But she was another man
