Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Picture yourself in a boat on a river
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes
[PreChorus]
Cellophane flowers of yellow and green
Towering over your head
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes
Then she's gone
[Chorus]
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Oh
[Verse 2]
Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain
Where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pie
Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers
That grow so incredibly high
[PreChorus]
Newspaper taxis appear on the shore
Waiting to take you away
Climb in the back, leave your head in the clouds
When you're gone
[Chorus]
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Oh
[PreChorus]
Newspaper taxis appear on the shore
Waiting to take you away
Climb in the back with your head in the clouds
And you're gone
[Chorus]
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Oh
[Verse 3]
Picture yourself on a train in a station
With plasticine porters with looking glass ties
Suddenly, someone is there at the turnstile
The girl with kaleidoscope eyes
[Chorus]
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Oh
[Chorus]
Lucy in the sky with diamonds (Ah, Lucy)
Lucy in the sky with diamonds (Ah, Lucy)
Lucy in the sky with diamonds (Ah, Lucy)
Oh
[Chorus]
Lucy in the sky with diamonds (Lucy, ah, Lucy)
Lucy in the sky with diamonds (Lucy, ah, Lucy)
Lucy in the sky with diamonds (Lucy, ah, Lucy)
Oh
[Chorus]
Lucy in the sky with diamonds (Lucy, ah, Lucy)
Lucy in the sky with diamonds (Lucy, ah, Lucy)
Lucy in the sky with diamonds (Lucy, ah, Lucy)
Oh
[Outro]
Lucy in the sky with diamonds (Lucy, ah, Lucy)
Lucy in the sky with diamonds (Lucy, ah, Lucy)
Lucy in the sky with diamonds (Lucy, ah, Lucy)
Oh
Written by: John Lennon, Paul McCartney
