Satire #1

John Lennon · John Lennon Anthology [1998]

Lord, take this makeup of off of me.

I said, "lordy, lordy, lordy, take this makeup offa me."

it's bad enough on the beach,

but it's worse in the sea.



Because I'm knockin' on heaven's door.

Because I'm lookin' for my ma.



I said, "ma, take these guns away from me."

I said, "ma, take these guns away from me."

I got so thin now, they're draggin' me down to my knees.

Oh yeah, man, do you Mr. Jones?



Town,

now I've been here so long, I almost forgot my name.

I said, "lord I been here so long I almost forgot my name."

but as long as I keep touring,

I'll always be in the game, fame, brain, shame and fame and game

fame, fame....
