The Ballad Of John And Yoko

Lyrics for The Ballad Of John And Yoko

Standing in the dock at Southampton Trying to get to Holland or France The man in the mac said "You've got to go back" You know, they didn't even give us a chance Christ, you know it ain't easy You know how hard it can be The way things are going They're gonna crucify me Finally made the plane into Paris Honeymooning down by the Seine Peter Brown called to say You can make it okay You can get married in Gibraltar near Spain Christ, you know it ain't easy You know how hard it can be The way things are going They're gonna crucify me So from Paris to the Amsterdam Hilton Talking in our beds for a week The news people said "Say, what you doing in bed" I said, "We're only trying to get us some peace" Christ, you know it ain't easy You know how hard it can be The way things are going They're gonna crucify me Saving up your money for a rainy day Giving all your clothes to charity Last night the wife said Oh boy, when you're dead You don't take nothing with you but your soul Think Made a lightning trip to Vienna Eating chocolate cake in a bag Newspapers said "She's gone to his head They look just like two gurus in drag" Christ, you know it ain't easy You know how hard it can be The way things are going They're gonna crucify me Caught the early plane back to London Fifty acorns tied in a sack The men from the press Said, "We wish you success It's good to have the both of you back" Christ, you know it ain't easy You know how hard it can be The way things are going They're gonna crucify me The way things are going They're gonna crucify me
