Verse 1

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.

Pre-Chorus 1

Sitting on a cornflake, 
Waiting for the van to come. 
Corporation T-shirt stupid bloody Tuesday,
Man, you been a naughty boy, you let your face grow long.

Chorus

I am the eggman, they are the eggmen,
I am the walrus,
Goo goo g'joob.

Verse 2

Mr. City p'licemen sitting pretty little p'licemen in a row. 
See how they fly like Lucy in the sky,
See how they run, I'm crying.
I'm cry - ing,
I'm crying,
I'm cry - ing. 

Pre-Chorus 2

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.

Chorus

I am the eggman, they are the eggmen,
I am the walrus,
Goo goo g'joob.

Instrumental

Bridge

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.

Chorus

I am the eggman, they are the eggmen,
I am the walrus,
Goo goo g'joob.
Goo goo goo g'joob.

Verse 3

Expert texpert choking smokers,
Don't you think the joker laughs at you?
(Ha ha ha! Hee hee hee! Ha ha ha!)
See how they smile like pigs in a sty,
See how they snide, I'm crying.

Pre-Chorus 3

Semolina pilchard,  
Climbing up the Eiffel Tower. 
Elementary penguin singing Hare Krishna,
Man, you should have seen them
Kicking Edgar Allan Poe.

Chorus

I am the eggman, they are the eggmen,
I am the walrus,
Goo goo g'joob,
Goo goo goo g'joob,
Goo goo g'joob,
Goo goo goo g'joob, goo.
Chooga, chooga, chooga.
