Elephant's Memory
New York City
Standing on the cornerJust me and Yoko OnoWe was waiting for Jerry to landUp come a man with a guitar in his handSinging, "Have a marijuana if you can"His name was David PeelAnd we found that he was realHe sang, "The Pope smokes dope every day"Up come a policeman shoved us up the streetSinging, "Power to the people today!"[Chorus:]New York CityNew York CityNew York CityQue pasa, New York?Que pasa, New York?Well down to Max's Kansas CityGot down the nitty grittyWith the Elephants Memory BandLaid something downAs the news spread aroundAbout the Plastic Ono Elephants Memory Band!And we played some funky boogieAnd laid some tutti fruttiLetras de cancionesSinging, "Long Tall Sally's a man."Up come a preacherman trying to be a teacherSinging, "God's a red herring in drag!"[Chorus: x2]Well we did the Staten Island FerryMaking movies for the tellyPlayed the Fillmore and Apollo for freedomTried to shake our imageJust a cycling through the VillageBut found that we had left it back in LondonWell nobody came to bug usHustle us or shove usSo we decided to make it our homeIf the Man wants to shove us outWe gonna jump and shoutThe Statue of Liberty said, "Come!"[Chorus: x2]
