[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 nude LP!
The Beatles have won their fight to put out an LP record
With a sleeve showing John Lennon and Yoko Ono in the nude!
[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
