"They" didn't write the song. John Lennon, by himself, wrote this song. He wasn't necessarily taking drugs when he wrote it either. He often put nonsensical lyrics in his songs because he liked the way the words rang. |

@ ^^ Wrong. Not according to the biographies, many of which were written by people that were with the Beatles at the time, including George Martin, Producer. No pot smoking references in there no matter how you try to hear them. They're singing "got one, got one, everybody's got one" and "oompah, oompah, stick it up your jumper". |

Wrong, they are not saying anything about smoking pot. John Lennon hired a children's chorus. The girls are singing: Everybody's got one. The boys are singing, very loudly, listen for it: OOMPAH, OOMPAH, STICK IT UP YOUR JUMPER. (A "jumper" is a sweater in the UK.)
@Bite me, you need to get your facts straight before you freak on people like that. It's RUDE. |

The Eggman refers to Eric Burdon of The Animals who had a thing for breaking raw eggs on naked women.
The song is intentionally confusing. John wrote it to keep the people who held such deep meaning on lyrics to all their songs. He thought that was funny because often he would just make up nonsensical words and phrases because they sounded good.
The song does not contain any meaning, it was meant to be confusing to the analysts, especially the school children who wrote fan letters to him, one letter in particular.
