John Lennon & Yoko Ono
No Bed for Beatle John
[Verse 1]
No bed for Beatle John!
Beatle John Lennon lost his hospital bed yesterday to a patient
It happened at Queen Charlotte’s Hospital, London
Where John was keeping vigil in the room
Where his girlfriend, Yoko Ono
Is being kept under observation
[Verse 2]
When he realized his bed was needed for an urgent case
John sent out for a sleeping bag
And last night
He was once more happily kicked out alongside Yoko
In the sleeping bag
[Verse 3]
Yoko who expects her baby next February
Will remain in the hospital for another few days
A Beatles spokesman said
There is a good chance for the baby’s survival
[Verse 4]
The Beatles win battle of the n*** LP!
The Beatles have won their fight to put out an LP record
With a sleeve showing John Lennon and Yoko Ono in the n***!
[Verse 5]
EMI, the world’s biggest recording company
Whose artists includes the Beatles
Refused to handle the LP called “Two Virgins”
Because of the sleeve
So did the group's American outlet, Capitol Records
[Verse 6]
But, the record with its controversial sleeve
Will be released in both countries next month
An official of the Beatles' Apple company said last night:
"The sleeve has not been censored or altered in any way."
[Outro]
We are pleased it is being distributed
But it may be that some record shops
Will still refuse to handle it
