The Ballad Of John And Yoko Lyrics

    Standing in the dock at Southampton
    Trying to get to Holland or France
    The man in the mac said 'You've got to go 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
    Honeymooning down by the Seine
    Peter Brown called to say 'You can make it O.K.
    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're 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
