What's The New Mary Jane
Beatles · Anthology 3
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
had a pain at the party.
She catch Patagonian pancake
with that one a gin party makes.
She having all the ways good contacts,
she making with Apple an contract.
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.
All together now:
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 looks as an African queen,
she tastes as Mongolian lamb.
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.
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.
What's The New Mary Jane
Released on the Beatles' 2000 anthology compilation Anthology 3, 'What's The New Mary Jane' is a rare studio recording that stands apart from the band's typical live or studio output. The track features a distinctive arrangement with prominent organ and guitar work, reflecting the group's evolving musical direction during the late 1960s. While often associated with the band's earlier pop-rock era, the recording showcases a more experimental approach, blending elements of folk and rock. This song serves as a fascinating glimpse into the Beatles' creative process, offering a unique perspective on their discography that differs from their more commercially successful singles. Its inclusion on Anthology 3 highlights the band's commitment to preserving their entire catalog, including lesser-known tracks that contribute to their broader legacy.
