The Ballad of John and Yoko - The Coverbeats, Paul McCartney, John Lennon

Standing in the dock at Southampton

Trying to get to Holland or France

The man in the mac said, «You've got to turn back»

You know they didn’t even give us a chance

Christ, you know it ain’t easy

You know how hard it can be The way things are going

They’re going to crucify me Finally made the plane into Paris

Honey mooning down by the Seine

Peter Brown called to say, «You can make it okay

You can get married in Gibraltar, near Spain»

Christ, you know it ain’t easy

You know how hard it can be The way things are going

They’re going to crucify me Drove from Paris to the Amsterdam Hilton

Talking in our beds for a week

The newspapers said, «Say what you doing in bed?»

I said, «We're only trying to get us some peace»

Christ, you know it ain’t easy

You know how hard it can be The way things are going

They’re going to crucify me Saving up your money for a rainy day

Giving all your clothes to charity

Last night the wife said, «Oh boy, when you’re dead

You don’t take nothing with you but your soul, think»

Made a lightning trip to Vienna

Eating chocolate cake in a bag

The newspapers said, «She's gone to his head

They look just like two gurus in drag»

Christ, you know it ain’t easy

You know how hard it can be The way things are going

They’re going to crucify me Caught an early plane back to London

Fifty acorns tied in a sack

The men from the press said, «We wish you success

It’s good to have the both of you back»

Christ, you know it ain’t easy

You know how hard it can be The way things are going

They’re going to crucify me The way things are going

They’re going to crucify me
