What's The New Mary Jane
The Beatles · Anthology (Part 3) [1996]
She looks as an African queen,
she eating twelve chapattis and cream,
she tastes as Mongolian lamb,
she coming from out of Bahran.
What a shame Mary Jane
had a pain at the party.
What a shame Mary Jane.
What a shame Mary Jane
had a pain at the party.
She like to be married with Yeti,
he grooving such cooky spaghetti,
she jumping as Mexican bean
to make that her body more thin.
What a shame Mary Jane
had a pain at the party.
What a shame Mary Jane.
What a shame Mary Jane

She catch Patagonian pancake
with that one a gin party makes.
She having all the ways good contacts,
she making with Apple an contract.

had a pain at the party.
What a shame Mary Jane.
What a shame Mary Jane
