Lyrics for I Am The Walrus as interpreted by Ice

I Am The Walrus Lyrics
I am he
As you are he
As you are me
And we are all together.
See how they run
Like pigs from a gun
See how they fly. I’m crying.
Sitting on a cornflake - waiting for the van to come.
Corporation teeshirt, stupid bloody
Tuesday man you been a naughty boy
You let your face grow long.
I am the eggman oh, they are the eggman -
Oh I am the walrus GOO GOO G’JOOB.
Mr. City policeman sitting pretty little policeman in a row,
See how they fly
Like Lucy in the sky
See how they run. I’m crying - I’m crying I’m crying.
Yellow matter custard dripping from a dead dog’s eye.
Crabalocker fishwife pornographic
Priestess boy you been a naughty girl,
You let your knickers down.
I am the eggman oh, they are the eggmen -
Oh I am the walrus. GOO GOO G’JOOB.
Sitting in an English garden waiting for the sun,
If the sun don’t come, you get a tan from
Standing in the English rain.
I am the eggman, oh, they are the eggmen -
Oh I am the walrus. G’JOOB, G’GOO, G’JOOB.
Expert texpert choking smokers
Don’t you think the joker laughs at you? Ha ha ha!
See how they smile,
Like pigs in a sty,
See how they snied. I’m crying.
Semoline pilchards climbing up the Eiffel Tower.
Elementary penguin singing Hare Khrishna
Man you should have seen them
Kicking Edgar Allen Poe.
I am the eggman oh, they are they eggmen -
Oh I am the walrus GOO GOO GOO JOOB
GOO GOO GOO JOOB GOO GOO
GOOOOOOOOOOOJOOOOOB.

Many people keep saying it was John flinging out random lyrics to confuse schools, to confuse people, to test his creative boundaries, to see if it would sell... etc. But some of you clearly forget what kind of artist John Lennon was... If you would asked him why the grass was green he would say "No it's purple" just because you wont try to figure it out yourself. His music was a part of him, if no one took the time to try to understand it, then they don't deserve to understand it at all. If you sit here and tell the child "No it's hot don't touch it" (I am sorry for using a cliche as an example) the child will doubt it and probably learn the hard way, but I bet you that child will remember not to touch the stove again... Same thing with his music. If he tells you what that song means to him, then it's out! You wont learn you'd probably sit there shake your head and say "Oh I get it now" but you really wouldn't. Words are just words, letters forming sounds that represent things. You can hear someone talk without understanding/feeling. To truly understand is to reach for the feelings/lessons/motivation behind the words.

PS sorry for posting this twice, I'm somewhat new to this forum... Er... I accidently posted this as a reply to someone's comment... Sorry all!

This is a john Lennon Masterpiece! He describes many things in his unique way about the world we live in, and sings "I'm crying", he was very aware of the corruption and gruesome acts of the world. "I am the eggman, they are the eggman, I am the walrus" It's like he says at the beginning of the song, "I am he
as you are he, as you are me, and we are all together" He's saying were all in this together; The part where he says "I am the walrus" is John saying I am going to try and do something about it. He is going to sacrifice everything and become a leader in the fight against the war and the system. I urge you to watch the videos "Money Masters" and "Zeitgeist Addendum". John Lennon was very aware of what's going on.

From what I've heard, it doesn't really mean anything in particular. It was written to confuse all of those crazy people trying to
analyze all of The Beatles' music to look for clues for the whole "Paul Death Hoax" thingy..

The first few lines, Lennon admitted, him and Yoko wrote while on acid. He said that the rest was complete and udder useless ramblings written while completely sober. He thought it was funny that everyone from other artists to college students were trying to analyze all the bands songs so he wanted to write something that would throw everyone for a loop.

I cannot begin to state how many different "Paul is Dead" clues there are but there are enough to fill the Albert Hall. Among Sgt Pepper, Magical Mystery Tour, Yesterday Today and Tomorrow, the White Album and Abbey Road there must be 100. Maybe one day I will return to this site and run through 100 of them when I have more time on my hands. Hasnt anyone written a book on it yet? Maybe I should.

John and Paul were reading some fan mail when Paul found a letter from a boy who went to their old
school. In the letter the boy mentioned that his English master would use Beatles lyrics in class.
He would put the lyrics on the blackboard and the class would write down their analysis of the lyrics.
The teacher would then give his interpretation an that was always slightly different to what the children
thought. I think he gave a specific example. Paul read the letter to John, who thought this was interesting and said something to the effect of 'analyse this then'... and came out with one of the most nonsensical lines of the song immediatley - I think it was the one about the pilchards. Paul thought this was hystericaly funny and they both started coming out with lines that ended up in the song. John edittedd the ideas together into the song and it was finished quickly.

Firstly it's about drugs. Secondly, it seems to be some sort of philosophical statement.

Part of this song was written while John was on an acid trip but the reason for the song is too fuck with people. Everyone was trying to analyze the beatles lyrics so they decided too write a song that didn't mean anything. Then there was sort of some philosophy behind it and everyone thought Paul McCartney had died and was replace by a look alike. So Lennon said McCartney was the Walrus so people further speculate

If you all forgot...the Beatles were very popular in the 60's and 70's when drugs were very popular, and people experimented with them. The Beatles did this stuff too, so most of their songs (exs. I Am the Walrus, We All Live in a Yellow Submarine, etc.) were probably written while they were high. And if you listen to the end of the song really hard, you can hear in the high voices people saying, "got one, got one, everybody got one," and in the low voices, "smoke pot, smoke pot, everybody smoke pot."

I may be repeating what someone else may have said previously but John Lennon made this song out of 3 songs he was was working on when he found his school teacher was setting work for his students to discipher Beatles lyrics, John Lennons actual words whe he strung all three songs together and finished it said "F**K**G WORK THAT OUT"!

This is a great song, regardless that John was on LSD, and I believe that no-one will ever write a song like this again.

a.)I have read that this song was written as a satire to those scholars who try to dissect The Beatles Songs.

b.)I believe that the meanings have either come from laid back gibberish or memories.

c.)This song is my religion. I am a follower, yes.

How people would always try and decipher his lyrics and yet miss the man. He’s having fun at the listeners expense, and delivering a personal message through the only non-whimsical line is: ‘I’m crying’

This is a great song. Especially because it's about nothing. And especially the smoke pot bit.
