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 tee-shirt, stupid bloody tuesday.
Man, you been a naughty boy, you let your face grow long.
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen.
I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob.
Mister city policeman sitting
Pretty little policemen 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, I'm crying. [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/b/beatles/i_am_the_walrus.html ]
Yellow mother 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, they are the eggmen.
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, they are the eggmen.
I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob goo goo g'joob.
Expert textpert choking smokers,
Don't you think the joker laughs at you?
See how they smile like pigs in a sty,
See how they snied.
I'm crying.
Semolina pilchard, climbing up the eiffel tower.
Elementary penguin singing Hari Krishna.
Man, you should have seen them kicking edgar allan poe.
I am the eggman, They are the eggmen.
I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob goo goo g'joob goo goo g'joob.
Goo goo g'joob goo
This song was a paul is dead reference. The only line that doesn't fit in with, and if anything contradicts, the pid theory, it's the line "bloody tuesday. " paul was supposed to have died on a tuesday. "sitting on a cornflake, waiting for the van to come. " the van being the ambulance that rushed "paul" to the hospital. Also, at the end, you can hear the "p'licemen" (the ones that were "standing in a row") chatting, then directing each other ("alright you go over there. Rescue! ").

Wooow. This song has no meaning at all!!! There was nothing wrong wit any of the members when writing this song. When the beatles were famous all those years ago, someone questioned their music and said they all had a special meaning. So to prove them wrong, the beatles wrote this song. So pls stop saying this song has a meaning and i am the walrus is talking about something to do with death, ok?
What was this song means!! Can't understand... I've listened to this many times last week but i can't still understand this stupid thing... What does this mean anyway?
The song has no meaning the same as most songs. This one particularly was aimed at the start of lessons in the english schools curriculum that had a provision for analysing the lyrics of songs including beatles songs. Lennon, realising this to be a nonsense due to it being a subjective exercise rather than objectively asking the original composer, set about constructing a song that would be impossible to analyse in such a way. It didn't quite work as i was set an exercise at school to analyse u2's running to stand still over 20 yers later.
