New York City.

(Lennon)

Standing on the corner

Just me and Yoko Ono

We was waiting for jerry to land

Up come a man with the guitar in his hand

Singing "have a marijuana if you can"

His name was Davis Peel

And we found that he was real

He sangs"The pope smokes dope everyday"

Up come a police man shoved us up the street

Singin, "power to the people today!"

NYC...NYC...NYC

Que pasa Ny?...Que pasa NY? 

Well we went to max's

Kansas City

Got down the nitty gritty

With the Elephants Memory Band

Laid something down

As the news spread around

About the Plastic Ono

Elephants Memory Band!

Well we played some funky boogie

And laid some tutti frutti

Singing "Long tall sally's a man"

Up come a preachman trying to be a teacher

Singing "God's a red herring in grag!"

NYC...NYC...NYC

Que pasa Ny?...Que pasa NY?

Well we did the Staten Island Ferry

Making movies for the telly

Played the fillmore and

Apollo for freedom,

Tried to shake our image

Just a cycling through the village

But found that we had left it back in London.

Well nobody came to bug us, hustle ud or shove us

so we decided to make it our home

If the man wants to shove us out

We gonna jump and shout

The Statue of Liberty said, "come!"

NYC...NYC...NYC

Que pasa Ny?...Que pasa NY?

NYC down in the village

What a bad-ass city!

Que pasa Ny?...Que pasa NY?

It's So Hard.

(Lennon)

You got to live

You got to love you got to be

Somebody you got to shove

But it's so hard, it's really hard

Sometimes i feel like going down

You got to eat

You got to drink

You got to feel something

You got to worry

It's so hard, it's really hard

Sometimes i feel like going down

But when it's good it's oh so good

And when i hold you in arms baby

Sometimes i feel like going down

You got to run

You got to hide

You got to keep your woman satisfied

But it's so hard, it's really hard

Sometimes i feel like going down.

Woman Is the Nigger of the World.

(Lennon/Ono)

Woman is the nigger of the world

Yes she is...think about it

Woman is the nigger of the world

Think about it...do something about it

We make her paint her face and dance

If she won't be slave, we say that she don't love us

If she's real, we say she's trying to be a man

While putting her down we pretend that she is above us

Woman is the nigger of the world...yes she is

If you don't belive me take a look to the one you're with

Woman is the slaves of the slaves

Ah yeah...better screem about it

We make her bear and raise our children

And then we leave her flat for being a fat old mother then

We tell her home is the only place she would be

Then we complain that she's too unworldly to be our friend

Woman is the nigger of the world...yes she is

If you don't belive me take a look to the one you're with

Woman is the slaves of the slaves

Yeah (think about it)

We insult her everyday on TV

And wonder why she has no guts or confidence

When she's young we kill her will to be free

While telling her not to be so smart we put her down for being so dumb

Woman is the nigger of the world...yes she is

If you don't belive me take a look to the one you're with

Woman is the slaves of the slaves

Yes she is...if you belive me, you better screem about it.

We make her paint her face and dance

We make her paint her face and dance

We make her paint her face and dance.

Well Well Well.

(Lennon)

I took my loved one out to dinner

So we could get a bite to eat

And though we both had been much thinner

She looked so beautiful I could eat her

Well well well oh well

We sat and talked of revolution

Just like to librals in the sun

We talked of womens liberation

And how the hell we could get thing done

Well well well oh well

I took my loved one to a big field

So we could watch the english sky

Were both feeling guilty

And neither one of us knew just why

Well well well oh well.

Instant Karma! (We All Shine on).

(Lennon)

Instant Karma's gonna get you

Gonna knock you right on the head

You better get yourself together

Pretty soon you're gonna be dead

What in the world you thinking of

Laughing in the face of love

What on earth you tryin' to do

It's up to you, yeah you

Instant Karma's gonna get you

Gonna look you right in the face

Better get yourself together darlin'

Join the human race

How in the world you gonna see

Laughin' at fools like me

Who in the hell d'you think you are

A super star

Well, right you are

Well we all shine on

Like the moon and the stars and the sun

Well we all shine on

Ev'ryone come on

Instant Karma's gonna get you

Gonna knock you off your feet

Better recognize your brothers

Ev'ryone you meet

Why in the world are we here

Surely not to live in pain and fear

Why on earth are you there

When you're ev'rywhere

Come and get your share

Well we all shine on

Like the moon and the stars and the sun

Yeah we all shine on

Come on and on and on on on

Yeah yeah, alright, uh huh, ah

Well we all shine on

Like the moon and the stars and the sun

Yeah we all shine on

On and on and on on and on

Well we all shine on

Like the moon and the stars and the sun

Well we all shine on

Like the moon and the stars and the sun

Well we all shine on

Like the moon and the stars and the sun

Yeah we all shine on

Like the moon and the stars and the sun.

Mother.

(Lennon)

Mother, you had me I never had you

I wanted you but you didn't want me

So I got to tell you

Goodbye, goodbye

Father, you left me but I never left you

I needed you but you didn't need me

So I just got to tell you

Goodbye, goodbye

Children, don't do what I have done

I couldn't walk so I tried to run

So I got to tell you

Goodbye, goodbye.

Come Together.

(Lennon/McCartney)

Here come old flattop he come grooving up slowly 

He got joo-joo eyeball he one holy roller 

He got hair down to his knee 

Got to be a joker he just do what he please 

He wear no shoeshine he got toe-jam football 

He got monkey finger he shoot coca-cola 

He say "I know you, you know me" 

One thing I can tell you is you got to be free 

Come together right now over me 

He bag production he got walrus gumboot 

He got Ono sideboard he one spinal cracker 

He got feet down below his knee 

Hold you in his armchair you can feel his disease 

Come together right now over me 

He roller-coaster he got early warning 

He got muddy water he one mojo filter 

He say "One and one and one is three" 

Got to be good-looking 'cause he's so hard to see 

Come together right now over me.

Imagine.

(Lennon)

Imagine there's no heaven

It's easy if you try

No hell below us

Above us only sky

Imagine all the people

Living for today...

Imagine there's no countries

It isn't hard to do

Nothing to kill or die for

And no religon too

Imagine all the people

Living life in peace...

Imagine no possesions

I wonder if you can

No need for greed or hunger

In a brotherhood of man

Imagine all the people

Sharing all the world...

You may say i'm a dreamer

But i'm not the only one

I hope some day you'll join us

And the world will be as one.

Cold Turkey.

(Lennon)

Temperature's rising

Fever is high

Can't see no future

Can't see no sky 

My feet are so heavy

So is my head

I wish I was a baby

I wish I was dead 

Cold turkey has got me on the run 

My body is aching

Goose-pimple bone

Can't see no body

Leave me alone 

My eyes are wide open

Can't get to sleep

One thing I'm sure of

I'm in at the deep freeze 

Cold turkey has got me on the run 

Cold turkey has got me on the run 

Thirty-six hours

Rolling in pain

Praying to someone

Free me again 

Oh I'll be a good boy

Please make me well

I promise you anything

Get me out of this hell 

Cold turkey has got me on the run

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

Hound Dog.

(Jerry Leiber/Mike Stoller)

You ain't nothin' but a hound dog,

cryin' all the time;

you ain't nothin' but a hound dog,

cryin' all the time.

You ain't never caught a rabbit

and you ain't no friend of mine.

When they said that you was highclassed,

that was just a lie;

when they said that you was highclassed,

that was just a lie.

You ain't never caught no rabbit,

you ain't no friend of mine.

You ain't nothin' but a hound dog,

cryin' all the time;

you ain't nothin' but a hound dog,

cryin' all the time.

You ain't never caught no rabbit

you ain't no friend of mine.

You ain't nothin' but a hound dog,

cryin' all the time;

you ain't nothin' but a hound dog,

cryin' all the time.

You ain't never caught a rabbit

you ain't no friend of mine.

Well, they said that you was highclassed,

well, that was just a lie;

well, they said that you was highclassed, babe,

you know it's a lie.

You ain't never caught no rabbit,

you ain't no friend of mine.

You ain't nothin' but a hound dog,

cryin' all the time;

you ain't nothin' but a hound dog,

cryin' all the time.

Elvis, I love you!!

You ain't never caught no rabbit

you ain't no friend of mine.

Give Peace a Chance.

(Lennon/McCartney)

You ain't nothin' but a hound dog,

cryin' all the time;

you ain't nothin' but a hound dog,

cryin' all the time.

You ain't never caught a rabbit

and you ain't no friend of mine.

When they said that you was highclassed,

that was just a lie;

when they said that you was highclassed,

that was just a lie.

You ain't never caught no rabbit,

you ain't no friend of mine.

You ain't nothin' but a hound dog,

cryin' all the time;

you ain't nothin' but a hound dog,

cryin' all the time.

You ain't never caught no rabbit

you ain't no friend of mine.

You ain't nothin' but a hound dog,

cryin' all the time;

you ain't nothin' but a hound dog,

cryin' all the time.

You ain't never caught a rabbit

you ain't no friend of mine.

Well, they said that you was highclassed,

well, that was just a lie;

well, they said that you was highclassed, babe,

you know it's a lie.

You ain't never caught no rabbit,

you ain't no friend of mine.

You ain't nothin' but a hound dog,

cryin' all the time;

you ain't nothin' but a hound dog,

cryin' all the time.

Elvis, I love you!!

You ain't never caught no rabbit

you ain't no friend of mine.
