Dear, dear child. I suppose the Magical Mystery Tour was way before your time.

No, but you're close. Part of it was based on another Lewis Carroll classic:

I Am the Walrus" is the title of a 1967 written song by John Lennon and Paul McCartney (though largely the work of Lennon) and recorded by The Beatles. John Lennon wrote the song while he was having an acid trip. The song was released on their Magical Mystery Tour album.

...

The "walrus" idea is from Lewis Carroll's poem The Walrus and the Carpenter.

The 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 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.

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, 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 g'goo goo g'joob.

Expert textpert choking smokers,
Don't you thing 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 g'goo goo g'joob.
Goo goo g'joob g'goo goo g'joob g'goo.

I still can't figure out if his friend was crying b/c he was sad that the oysters had been eaten, or b/c the walrus didn't save any for him. I worry about this.

I am the walrus... 07-26-2005 02:49 PM its goo goo g' joob

I stand corrected, but did it really require bad juju?

I listened to a scratched record on a portable, mono phonograph. I'm lucky I got the walrus part right.
