letra de mccartney dead; new evidence brought to light - fred labour

back in time
october, 1969

well i was listing to the radio
when a man called in the dj’s show
and said “hey, what’s going on with paul?”
“his boutonniere’s black and the others are red”
“there’s a weird hand up over his head”
“and his voice sounds different now, and that ain’t all…”
listen close to the fade-out on strawberry fields
somebody clearly says “i buried paul”

well the timing was right that fateful night
because the michigan daily had assigned me to write a story
an abbey road reviеw
so with my beatle records linеd up in a row
i concocted a c-ckamamie scenario that paul was dead
and it was all true

“we lost him in a car wreak” so i said
and he was officially pr-nounced dead
or opd, like on his sergeant pepper’s pin
i invented william campbell, who got the call
to replace the late, great sir paul
because he resembled and kinda sounded like him
now the beatles decided to spread the news
of paul’s demise by hiding clues
on album covers and in the songs they wrote
and why? because john lennon said
“even though our dear paul is dead
he always did enjoy a little joke”

well my clues poured out in rapid succession
abbey road’s cover clearly a funeral procession
and paul was barefoot, like they bury people in england, i allowed
but the height of my satirical streak
when i said “walrus” meant “corpse” in greek
and by then, i was laughing right out loud

yep, i went through my albums song by song
makin’ up bullsh-t all night long
and thinkin’ the world at large would share my mirth
’till the morning edition hit the fan
and i became a semi-famous man
and my ridiculous story went around the earth

yep, i went viral before viral was viral
it even got to scotland
“no, i’m not dead” said giant of twentieth century music mccartney
“who is the idiot in america who started this rubbish?”
well i’m the guy who did it, paul mccartney
the guy who wrote that you were dead and gone
and i truly meant no harm when i said you’d bought the farm
and i’m glad i got to tell you in this song

well this reluctant semi-celebrity
joined f. lee baily on tv
and slipped back into blessed anonymity
and mostly now i just amuse my kids
with the tangled tale of what i did
and how i’m a footnote of a footnote in fab four history

and no i never met paul but if i do
i believe we’ll share a laugh or two
cause i think he gets the joke and understands
that i sold millions of beatle records
to weeping fans who played ’em backwards
just looking for clues like
“turn me on, dead man”
“turn me on, dead man”
“turn me on, dead man”
“turn me on, dead man”

and i’ve always thought the least that apple corps limited could do is send me a fruit basket, or a gift card, or something! all they’d have to do is address it to…

that guy who did it, paul mccartney
the guy who said that you were dead and gone
paul, i truly meant no harm when i said you’d bought the farm
and i’m glad i got to tell you in this song
[spoken]
so what did i learn from my fifteen minuets of fame
which i’ve managed to doggedly stretch into seventeen
“be careful what you write, somebody might believe it!”
