Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Sitting on a cornflake
Waiting for the van to come
Corporation T-shirt
Stupid bloody Tuesday
Man, you've been a naughty boy
You let your face grow long
[Chorus]
I am the egg man
They are the egg men
I am the walrus
Goo, goo, g'joob
[Verse 3]
Mister city policeman sitting
Pretty little policemen 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
[Verse 4]
Yellow matter custard
Dripping from a dead dog's eye
Crabalocker fishwife, pornographic priestess
Boy, you've been a naughty girl
You let your knickers down
[Chorus]
I am the egg man
They are the egg men
I am the walrus
Goo, goo, g'joob
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
I am the egg man (Now, good sir...)
They are the egg men (... poor man, made tame to Fortune's...)
I am the walrus
Goo, goo, g'joob, g'goo, goo, g'joob (... good pity...)
[Verse 5]
Expert, textpert, choking smokers
Don't you think the joker laughs at you? (Ho-ho-ho, hee-hee-hee, ha-ha-ha)
See how they smile like pigs in a sty
See how they snide
I'm crying
[Verse 6]
Semolina pilchard
Climbing up the Eiffel Tower
Elementary penguin singing Hare Krishna
Man, you should have seen them kicking Edgar Allan Poe
[Chorus]
I am the egg man
They are the egg men
I am the walrus
Goo, goo, g'joob, g'goo, goo, g'joob
Goo, goo, g'joob, g'goo, goo, g'joob, g'goo
[Outro]
Jooba, jooba, jooba
Jooba, jooba, jooba
Jooba, jooba
Jooba, jooba
Oompah, oompah, stick it up your jumper
Oompah, oompah, stick it up your jumper
Everybody's got one, everybody's got one
Everybody's got one, everybody's got one
Everybody's got one, everybody's got one
Everybody's got one, everybody's got one
Written by: John Lennon, Paul McCartney
