I Am The Walrus

I am he as you are he as 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

Corporation teashirt stupid bloody Tuesday

Man you been a naughty boy, you let your face grow long

I am the eggman oh

They are the eggmen oh

I am the walrus

Goo goo g'joob

Mr. City policeman sitting pretty little policeman in a row

See how they fly like Lucy in the sky, see how they run

I'm crying, I'm crying, I'm crying, I'm crying

Yellow matter custard dripping from a dead dog's eye

Crabalocker fishwife pornographic priestess

Boy you been a naughty girl, you let your knickers down

I am the eggman oh

They are the eggmen oh

I am the walrus

Goo goo g'joob

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

Goo goo g'joob g'goo goo g'joob

Expert texpert choking smokers

Don't you think the joker laughs at you (ha ha ha)

See how they smile like pigs in a sty, see how they snied

I'm crying

Semolina pilchards climbing up the Eiffel Tower

About this Song

I Am The Walrus by The Beatles is a surreal and whimsical song that blends elements of nonsensical poetry, satire, and psychedelic influence. Written by John Lennon, the song showcases a stream-of-consciousness style and explores themes of absurdity, rebellion against social norms, and the complexity of identity. The song's vivid imagery and playful language create a dreamlike atmosphere, with voice imitations of a chorus and orchestra adding to its avant-garde feel. Key moments include the repeated phrases 'I am the walrus' and 'goo goo g'joob,' which hint at a questioning of reality and an embrace of the absurd.
