The Beatles - I'm the Walrus (LYRICS)

[kitten287]

Haha irony: my English teacher told my class that the Beatles heard that teachers were using their songs to teach so they made this song to make it impossible for them to teach with it. Yet we were getting taught by it :D

[hooper604]

this songs so creepy if u think about it...:(

[caos1925]

can anyone tell me who all the eggmen are. i know they are supposed to be crazy people andi can tell one of them looks like hitler

[Bartbfbb]

goo goo goo g'jooo

[DaBrianZone]

The original Song was just them smoking a lot of pot! But who cares they make awesome songs! :3

[eagleindian2]

I'm just on of those who smoke pot!

[Cassuttus]

Great song, great video. I like how the video isn't as trippy as the song would make you think.

[Cassuttus]

This song is awesome, why even bother to figure out what i means? It means somethingthing different to every person who hears it.

[inertialcapacity]

I am he as you are he as you are me and we are altogether : I am whole as you are whole as three are whole are we are one together decoded lyrics my space blogs highestprecision He's crying he's crying he's crying he's crying he's crying see the movie: knowing, starring nicholas cage

I am a false man, they are the false men, I am the sluggard

[squiddlygoo]

oh Beatles you so funny!!

[Kiara92899]

When they wrote this, they were sane. I can assure you that. The reason they put all this nonsense into the song was because a student from an old teacher of theirs wrote them saying that they were assigned to decipher Beatles lyrics. So, they made this song to confuse them. As a great Beatles member once quoted :

" Let the fuckers figure this one out . "

[megadoomed100]

i am the eggman...

i'm bleeding yolk D=

[gamulya136]

Ok, does it really matter if they were no drugs or not. I mean seriously!!! Either way, they are fuckin good!!! That's what matters...

[kyleweeksy]

:)

[TutTutOpenSesame]

one person was a naughty boy and let his face grow long.

[GrisGrisOnUrDoorStep]

Are you sure they say everybody smoke pot during the outro? I always thought there was three different chants one is John doing the goo goo gajoo, and the others were collected audio bits which said "got one got one everybodys got one" and "oompha oompha stick it in your choompa" Thats what Ive always heard or maybe Im just used to playing it live like that.

[chrisocony]

Oh that voice at :20

[DublinThunders4Eva]

this song is ridiculously fun to sing on Beatles Rockband for PS3

[MATTEWALSH]

@pennywiseAklown Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds doesn't = LSD ur retarted. oblvious u arent a real fan

[Joke9972]

[EdTheBadass]

[Bi0nicFl4nge]

koo koo ka chew....

[razarsenal180]

anyone else notice the hitler moustache at 3:16 ? anyone?

[gliajo11]

@razarsenal180 Wow Good attention to detail I had to go back and look for it twice haha

[ScarlettTait]

WTF, does "the egg man" have on his head XD I think it's John, blurry video, so hard to see :P Made me laugh XD

[sergeantpeppers1]

that *shadowraith10* is because over half of their songs were thought of when they were high...i dislike you for being one of those people who try to find a hidden meaning out of every little thing...for example...their song *across the universe*

[pennywiseAklown]

these songs are about trippin and are while they play and record.

Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds=LSD

[magickmuffinwaffle]

@pennywiseAklown Acctually, John said in an interveiw, he got the idea for "Lucy" from a picture his son made at school.

[hollyinglis1]

@pennywiseAklown lol so true

[squirrelsmonkey]

@pennywiseAklown No shit. Anyone who knows anything about the beatles knows that

[Rozzer10qwerty]

@pennywiseAklown No it aint mate....will everyone get it over it!! If the great man that is John Lennon said it isn't about drugs, then it just isn't!!!

John Lennon > Jesus

[chancho209]

@pennywiseAklown Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds was inspired by one of Julian's drawings and I Am the Walrus was inspired by The Walrus and The Carpenter.

[sockmonkeysrock]

@chancho209 yeah. day tripper was another drug song

[MargaretLeighh]

@chancho209 They threw ridiculous things into I Am the Walrus after they found out students were analyzing their songs.

[chancho209]

@MargaretLeighh Yeah, I read that John hated it when people would try and analyze his lyrics. lol

[fiebrucustoms]

@MargaretLeighh ..that would be a john lennon ploy. he was a musical genius , witty and all he ever wanted was a better world. I grew with the Beatles and I can say they will alway be missed. There are many great bands and musicians, but the Beatles were and will always be the greatest!!

[startrekgirl258]

@chancho209 no Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds was inspired by john lennon's kid's friend or something in kindergarten.. listen to someone who was ALIVE when they made the song -.-"

[chancho209]

@startrekgirl258 you have to be kidding me...the song was inspired by one of Julian Lennon's drawings. I don't care if you were alive when they made the song. Maybe if you watched the Anthology you would see that I am right.

[startrekgirl258]

@chancho209 nope. NOT kidding.

[chancho209]

@startrekgirl258 Oh well, you're either trolling or just fucking stupid.

[chancho209]

@startrekgirl258 maybe both

[AfroGangsta10]

@chancho209 Hate to be the person to say this but that was just a little back up for the excuse that it's actually about LSD. Just look at the video haha. I mean if John was alive, he would probably admit it to like Paul did about one of his songs. The song that everybody expects not to be about drugs is about weed. "Got to get you into my life".

[GDguitarz]

@chancho209 all the beatles songs were inspired by the same thing that ispired the best Ramones and Green Day songs: DRUUUUUUGZ!!!!!!! HOOORAY! The Beatles are the fathers of punk. Ramones Sex Pistols Clash are their children, who took punk to its current sound. The beatles took this sound, and invented punk lyrics: not caring, and doin what other people find completely fucking insane!

[unavaliable13]

This album came out around the time of the vietnam war, so its obviously about that, 'pigs run from the gun'

[unavaliable13]

EVERYBODY , doo shrooms!!!!

[shadowraith10]

this song makes almost no sence... yet... i know theres a hidden meaning...

[razarsenal180]

@shadowraith10 care to share it? (even though all writers have said they were high while doing it)

[LaChULiZ]

awesome song, hard to understand! haha

lyrics written in an acid trip....Lennon♥

[calebamn123]

[Marioiswicked]

i hate 4:14

[cwolph]

its art

[cellardoorr32]

I'm pretty sure the walrus is just to supposed to be a character in the magical mystery tour.... i think.

I mean, if he's not then i really have no fricken idea what the song is about.

[bjabjabja34]

@cellardoorr32 The walrus is the walrus from Luis Carol's The Walrus and the Carpenter in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. It was only after the song was written that Lennon realized the Walrus was the villain and that he had used the "wrong" character. But would "I am the carpenter," sound as good?

[PauIsAlive]

@Thepihl By the Way, they do not say "everybody smokes pot", even though it kinda sounds like it, they are really saying "Everybody's got one". I know it doesn't sound like it, but that IS what they are saying, so can u please change the lyrics in the description so there won't be people who think that there's a drug reference in this song when there really isn't? thanks

[GoddessWindstar]

I think the Beatles just know something :o

[devdief614]

everybody smokes pot everybody smokes pot everybody smokes pot everybody smokes pot everybody smokes pot everybody smokes pot everybody smokes pot everybody smokes pot everybody smokes pot everybody smokes pot everybody smokes pot everybody smokes pot everybody smokes pot everybody smokes pot

[oppositeofme1]

Koo Koo Ka Kachoo I think it what he says...

[pregnantwithtv]

"Boy, you've been a naughty girl; you let yo niggas down."

Those Beatles were way ahead of their time.

[devdief614]

@pregnantwithtv dude... it's knickers, which means pants... people like you just disapoint me...

[techdeckers4life123]

@pregnantwithtv it is knickers think pants smart one

[ApacheWarrior1977]

@pregnantwithtv Fucking dumbass its Knickers!! The title of the video even says it has the lyrics why dont u try reading them u stupid fuck

[unorthadox909]

i think its ku ku kachooo haha not racist

[thegamerman7]

The Magical Mystery Tour has got to be one of the weirdest songs ever besides i am the walrus and lucy in th sky with diamonds.

[LimeLemon333]

love the song you got most of the lyrics right except the end its not everyone smokes pot its everyone gets one. so the last line shuld be like this, goo goo g joob g goo goo g joob (everone gets one) (everyone gets one)

[BrokenneckYgor]

Film was shown in my country as "Revenge of the Animals"

[snakehunt1]

were they playing sonic the hedgehog while they were drinking?it says I AM THE EGGMAN!!lol

[modernwarfare9009]

the first two lines of the song were written on two seperate acid trips the rest was written to confuse people, i know that sounds ridiculous but its true.

[01shalashaska]

This song makes perfect sense when one is high... ^_^

[natanaelnerio]

paul is dead! this paul is from canada and his name is william capmbell

paul dead in 1966... in the morning!

there are many songs addressed to Paul from the sgt pepper album on the cover there is ample evidence of his death have to check that information

[kfuds]

Love psychedelic music and this is up with the best of Psychedelic songs.

[eddgomezHaHa]

The effects of marihuana and valium? xD

[AceOfSpadez412]

VIDEO IS KINDA CREEPY !!!!!!!!!!!!

[DarkMew1337]

GooGoogoochoo!

[Tehabbyshow]

I asked my math teacher "are you sitting on a cornflake?"

she was offended, because I was "making fun of her weight".

[Justchillin211]

this song is such a joke

[Meeperish]

I love this song, definitely something was going on when he wrote this song, but I love it nonetheless.

[thewholenineyears]

i didn't used to like the beatles until i started getting stoned, but now, BEST BAND EVER.

[MileySwiftt]

it doesnt say that on the beatles rock band on mic it has paul and george singing "stick it up your jumper" and john lennon says "everybody's got one" while ringo is like o.0

[fanofthefett1995]

umpa umpa stick it up your jumpa

[tuckandroll622]

The first two lines are acid trips. Then the rest is a big fuck you to all the people trying to dissect it and figure it out. He was quoted saying, "Let the fuckers work that one out." Haha.

[IgnotiSalentini]

Mister City Policeman sitting, pretty little policemen in a row!!!!!!!!!!! great!

[TheJonasClub]

AHH LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH

[nicoleaniolek]

good weed

[TheNinjaPagan]

This WASN'T from an LSD or acid trip. Teachers and students were looking for hidden meanings in their songs, so Lennon wrote this song and said "Let them figure this one out!"

[Itstoxik]

@TheNinjaPagan Actually, Lennon did write a bit of this while two seperate acid trips. Please don't post unless you know what you are talking about..

[BrokenneckYgor]

We not liking this song in my country. Walrusa is mighty beast, king of the ice! Beatles make fun of Walrus. If Beatles come, the Walrus will eat them!@

[Random90sKid]

@BrokenneckYgor the walrus is just part of the refrain,dude.But I'm pretty sure you're joking.

[TheSpencinator1]

I hate the Beatles! The lead singer's voice is whiney and annoying!

[Xozny]

@TheSpencinator1 you know that they dont have a lead singer, they all sing in different songs.

[modernwarfare9009]

@TheSpencinator1 also you realize that thats not his real voice, right.

[kourtneygirl]

were they high when they wrote this?lol

[GreenRaccon]

at the end is everybody has one

ithink?

[traptdolphin17]

actually at the end the lyrics are "everybody's fucked up"

[Xozny]

@traptdolphin17 its oompa loompa stick it up your jumper and oompa loompa everybodys got one according to Beatles Rockband.

[traptdolphin17]

@Xozny lol well yea i don't think they would be allowed to write "everybody's fucked up"....i'm taking History of Rock Music at UT Austin and my professor said those were the lyrics

[animefreak563]

@traptdolphin17 A bunch of people also believe it's "Everybody smoke pot"

[SuperKaitie333]

TO CLEAR UP ALL THE CONFUSION:

According to Paul, the first 2 lines of the song were written on two seperate acid trips. Ok? Rest was sheer brilliance.

(Also, for those who believe Paul died- see the white doctors in the background at 1:28? supposedly they represent the team of doctors that tried to save his life.)

Now it's my turn to ask the question- for anyone who called the number on the magic mystery tour album, what happens? I'm too chicken to call lol.

[modernwarfare9009]

@SuperKaitie333 those are the EGGMEN.

[MonkeyMarieSmexi]

This Song Is Crazy :P It Makes Know Seance But Its Good xx

[VladEskatell]

Talkin' 'bout walruses... A super classic :)

[daveyhop]

I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure the eggman is allegedly eric burden from the animals who apparently was well known for breaking wind regarding the song i think it is something to do with alice through the looking glass but john thought the walrus was the hero not realising he was a sort of villain

[furball284]

what is an eggman?

[JosephAS1]

half egg- half man

[MsBeatlesfan1964]

You don't want to know...... Its about this dude who did fucked up stuff with eggs when he was in the act. That's why Johnny said egg man. You should look it up because I got it from Wikipedia. I might be wrong.

[frogiefilms]

i have no idea wat this songs about

[Dudestuff9013]

When he talks about "I am the walrus" I think about the walrus in the poem, "The Walrus and the Carpenter" from "Through the Looking Glass." Maybe they're talking about how the walrus is a "scam artist" of sorts. Luring in the clams, promising a nice little picnic, and then just killing them... But I dunno. I think I'm looking too deeply into this. Lol. That's just how my strange mind works. *Shrugs*

[Toolxao]

wat is the song about??????????? somebody plzzz tell me

[recebarnett]

@Toolxao This song is about Paul being dead and he sang about he's not so he is the walrus. Paul was the singer of the song and in Abbey Road, Paul is the only Beatle bare-footed

[MultiGuss]

@recebarnett Lennon is the singer

[IEX0RCIST]

Wait, So What Do They Say at The End?

[sharpshootermatthew]

every body smoke pot

[yngwierox]

See how they fly like lucy in the sky kinda reminds me of something you hear in lil wayne's freestyles, they relate it to a different song ;P kinda cool how people from different parts of music have some similarities in music. :D

[Crowdude09]

It's not "goo goo ga joob" even though it sounds like it. It's "koo koo kuh choo"

[kyokyokyo99]

No its the other way around its commonly mistaken for koo koo kuh choo but its been proven its goo goo g'joob

[HesAFruitcake101]

This is what I love about the beatles..they can make songs that make absolutely no sense whatsoever and yet that song can still be a hit (yellow submarine, i am the walrus, etc.)

[Xxfionac95xX]

yellow submarine makes sense ! they all live in a yellow submarine because of the man in the town where they were born ? yeh makes no sense still a kickass song though ^^

[ApacheWarrior1977]

@HesAFruitcake101 Haha trip on some acid and you can do it too lmao

[Roboterm01]

i have no idea wtf this song is about but its kewl

[dhylanspano1]

I am the walrus was created by John to pretty much screw with people.. what im saying is there is no message or meaning more than Johns genius at work...

[enriqueespinosa27]

EVERYBODY smoke pot !!!!!!

[mstuff101]

@enriqueespinosa27 what are 12? lets grow up and do acid like john lennon

[dwnrety1]

[Viskproductions]

@Florius1991

[leomar9]

where did u get this vid..

u know that john lennon said that he wrote the first 2 lines on lsd :D

[mattleeboy]

PaulMccartney is realy Dead they just use a look a like then made him PaulMccartney

[Thepihl]

What the fuck are you talking about? xD

Paul McCartney is alive.

[mattleeboy]

No im trying to trick you! But i dont get it people say Paul Mccartney's DEAD! LOL... maybe just a rumor...

[Thepihl]

Haha yeah ^^ Paul McCartney is alive. :)

[FrankFerl69]

@Thepihl and Ringo Starr too

[Thepihl]

@FrankFerl69 Yep, I know ^^ ;)

[FrankFerl69]

@Thepihl my birthday is Ringo's, love it. lol

[Thepihl]

@FrankFerl69 Oh, that's cool :) I understand that you like it. :) I wish my birthday was the same that Paul McCartneys :)

[leonpal14]

@Thepihl my birthday is the same month as pauls we have the same hair and we are both left handed ^_^ so tht makes me proud lol

[tyeabrzannn]

@FrankFerl69 I share my last name with Ringo

[PauIsAlive]

@mattleeboy Its actually an urban legend/ Conspiracy theory, its not just a rumor, its believed my many people, although its not true at all. According to the conspiracy, Paul McCartney died from a car crash during the time they were recording the Sgt. Pepper album. Supposedly, he was then replaced with a lookalike and soundalike named William Campbell, who was part of the ontario police. In reality, no such man exists. The Beatles suposedly hid "clues" in their lyrics and album covers.

[PauIsAlive]

@mattleeboy Continuation of my earlier comment: Of course, the rumour is completely untrue, even though over three hundered and fifty "clues" hav been found by fans, and believers of the conspiracy. For example, on the abbey road album cover, Paul was walking out of step from the rest of the Beatles. He was also barefooted and had his eyes closed, like a corpse. He was directly in a car lane, and there was a car in the background. And so on.

[PauIsAlive]

@mattleeboy Another continuation of my earlier comment: Despite all these supposed "clues" I firmly believe the Paul IS alive, and that many of these clues can be explained. So of Course Paul McCartney is alive. :)

[i8apie1]

i agree.

[simonaik98]

@mattleeboy paul mccartney is living he had a consert in New York 2009

[kallimerraponny]

Awesome song!

[Thepihl]

Yes, indeed!
