Fabulous parodies! Would you say they’re “tongue in cheek”?

What was John’s famous contribution to Paul’s “Getting butter” ?

He contributed the iconic line:

TOAST TOAST TOAST

and this verse:

There’s no bread you can bake that can’t be baked

No butter you can spread that can’t be spread

No knife you can’t use if you can learn how to use safely

It’s easy

Paul did the other verses and the chorus:

All you need is to get butter

Getting butter’s all you need

This one was written by John about another affair he had. Again, he changed the lyrics in the final version because he didn’t want Cynthia to find out:

 

Lucy In The Sky With Donuts

 

Picture yourself with a maid in the kitchen,

with copper-brown hair and marvellous thighs.

Somebody calls you, you fain not to hear her,

a nutcase who claims she’s your wife.

 

Battenberg batches of yellow and pink

scattered all over the floor.

Look for the woman who called out your name,

but she’s gone.

 

Lucy in the sky with donuts.

Ah, ah.

 

Follow her out to the food in the larder,

where she keeps the pastry, the milk and the drugs.

Alf Bicknell smiles as he waters the flowers,

but Lucy, she stands there and shrugs.

 

Milkmen, each morning, appear at the door

taking the empties away.

They’re selling the bottles at £5 for four

when there’s none.

 

Lucy in the sky with donuts.

Ah, ah

 

Picture yourself with a maid at the station,

Saying goodbye with a kiss to the jaw.

Suddenly you see her, a girl quite familiar:

Your wife, with your mother-in-law.

 

Lucy in the sky with donuts.

Ah, ah

  

Wow, I didn’t know that! Nice one @tonyjapanese
