Friends of mine donand't have the time
for food or wine
just money is on their minds
Life is sweet
on a one-way street
theyand're indiscrete
and funny, theyand'll never meet
B-bay-b-bay-b-bay-b-bay-bay-baby...
I gotta get a two-ton truck

i gotta do it to a duck on a two-ton truck and fade away like ron rene
all right, all right
You got the magical mystery tour

And kurt is the walrus

Up the 13 steps of the gallows walked the condemned man
and time passes very quickly when death is near
after having completed the first step, the condemned man knew there were but 12 left
before he would meet death and his soul would leave his body
and after having completed the 13 steps the condemned man was met by a giant cloaked figure
and with a quick flick of the wrist the man was dead
and his soul left his body and went down down down
to a place we laughingly refer to as hell
but none of us will ever go there because weand're all far too groovy
the manand's body was left to rot on the gallows
and a great multitude of black birds came and picked the manand's corpse apart
piece by piece
limb by limb
until nothing remained
and his blood melted into the ground below
The gallows was made from a tree created by god
the manand's blood dripped into the ground which was created by god
even the giant cloaked figure which was the manand's own end was created by god
even the manand's soul which went down was created by god
even the black birds which picked the manand's corpse apart were created by god
and where was god?
In flanders fields the poppies grow
between the crosses row on row
to mark the dead
To flanders fields the hippies go
to smoke the poppies there below
and feed their heads
And theyand're all friends of mine, each and every one of them, no better or no worse
and weand'll probably end up down there together when itand's all over
And thatand's why we say
b-bay-b-bay-b-bay-b-bay-b-baby ...
Itand's all over and itand's all right.
