Mendips Time - John Lennon's Home On Menlove Avenue

A little rocker about a young John Lennon and his fellow Quarrymen Paul McCartney and George Harrison and their practice in Aunt Mimi's house. From the Strawberry Walrus album "Liverpool." Available on itunes, Amazon, and cdbaby.

In a tiny dining room
next to the pots and pans
sits a young John Lennon
writing pencil in his hand.

Hears a knock on the door
Mimi lets McCartney in
John shows Paul his song
they both begin to sing.

It's all in your mind Johnny (start chorus)
that's what the voices said
put his pencil to the paper
the song jumped from his head. (end chorus)

Climbed up to Johnny's bedroom
Brigitte Bardot was on their mind
John and Paul have a laugh
it was the best of Mendips time.

Aunt Mimi stood at the bottom
of some very steep wood stairs
said please come down Johnny
Mister Harrison's waiting here.

It's all in your mind Johnny (start chorus)
that's what the voices said
put his pencil to the paper
the song jumped from his head. (end chorus)

The three met at the front door
then went in the living room
Mimi knew it would be loud
hoped they would leave real soon.

Johnny sitting in the corner
George was waiting for a sign
Paul tuned his cheap guitar
it was the best of Mendips time.

It's all in your mind Johnny (start chorus)
that's what the voices said
put his pencil to the paper
the song jumped from his head. (end chorus)
