John Lennon - Dan Bull

Once upon a time there was a working class hero

Who wanted to give power to the people so

He asked us to imagine a world of peace, love and truth

To give peace a chance,

Do you want to know a secret from me to you?

All you need is love so love me do

And whether the music was acoustic or rock and roll

He walked the long and winding road 'till he wore out his rubber sole

With his old brown shoe

He broke walls and bridges down

Made us come together

'Caused us all to twist and shout

He was the one to tell us what goes on

Number nine, number nine revolution

John

John

Le-le-le-le-le-le-le-lennon

John

Oh, john

Le-le-le-le-le-le-le-lennon

He was a paperback writer

As well as pen and verse

His best known publication was a spaniard in the works

And in his own right

He would write and write and write

Cause you should do whatever gets you through the night

Every man has a woman who loves him more than any other

But for this boy, who'd compare to john lennons mother?

She’s a woman named yoko

She’s something new

So hold on john, because she loves you

This is real love

No more cover versions

Their love was just like starting over, two virgins

He was happier then anybody’d ever seen

But the boys at abbey road, didn't want to let it be

He went to live in new york city, but he lived on borrowed time

Living life with the lines, he was shot by a jealous guy

With a revolver, but don’t ask me why

Life’s little more then: Hello, goodbye

My, what a souvenir from their visit to america

Now hes going to strawberry fields forever

Hardly instant karma, but

Calm your nerves

Cause this beautiful boy’s now as free as a bird
