I Am The Walrus

Beatles · Magical Mystery Tour

I am he is you are he is 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.
Corparation tee-shirts, stupid bloody Tuesday, man you've been a naughty boy
you've let your face grow long!

I am the Eggman
They are the Eggmen
I am the Walrus--koo koo kachoo.

Mister city policeman sitting, pretty little
policemen in a row.
See how they fly like Lucy in the sky
See how they run.
I'm crying.
I'm cry...
I'm crying...
I'm cry...

Yellow mound of custard, dripping from a dead dog´s eye
Grab a locker fishwife
Pornagraphic 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--koo koo kachoo

*alarm rings*

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--koo koo kachoo, koo koo koo kachoo!

Expert textpert, choking smokers
Don't you think the joker laughs at you?
Ho ho ho, he he he, ha ha ha!
See how they smile like pigs in a sty.
See how they snide...
I´m crying

Semolina Pilchard
Climbing up the Eiffel Tower
Elementary penguins singin´ Hare Krishna
Man, you should have seen them kicking
Edgar Allen Poe!

I am the Eggman
They are the Eggmen
I am the Walrus--koo koo koo kachoo!
koo koo koo kachoo!
koo koo kachoo koo koo koo kachoo koo koo!

I Am The Walrus

Released on the Beatles' 1967 album Magical Mystery Tour, "I Am The Walrus" stands as a landmark in psychedelic rock and surreal pop. The track features a distinctive, looping vocal melody and a complex, multi-layered instrumental arrangement that defies traditional song structures. Written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, the lyrics employ absurdist imagery and wordplay, creating a dreamlike narrative that has become synonymous with the band's experimental period. The recording showcases the group's ability to blend humor, mysticism, and musical innovation, influencing countless artists who followed in the 1960s and beyond. Its enduring legacy lies in its unique sonic texture and its role as a defining work of the British Invasion's most creative era.
