Lyrics

I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together
See how they run like pigs from a gun, see how they fly, I’m crying

Sitting on a corn-flake, waiting for the van to come
Corporation tee-shirt, stupid bloody Tuesday
Man, you’ve been a naughty boy, you let your face grow long
I am the egg man, we are the egg men, oh I am the walrus, goo goo g’joob

Mister city policeman sitting
Pretty little policemen in a row
See how they fly like Lucy in the sky, see how they run
I’m crying, I’m crying, I’m crying, I’m crying
Yellow matter custard, dripping from a dead dog’s eye
Crabalocker fishwife, pornographic priestess
Man you been a naughty girl you let your knickers down
I am the egg man, we are the egg men, oh I am the walrus, goo goo g’joob

Sitting in an English garden waiting for the sun
If the sun don’t come, you get a tan from standing in the English rain
I am the egg man, we are the egg men, oh I am the walrus, goo goo g’joob

Expert text pert choking smokers, don’t you think the joker laughs at you?
See how they smile like pigs in a sty, see how they snide, I’m crying

Semolina pilchards, climbing up the Eiffel Tower
Elementary penguin singing Hare Krishna man, you should have seen them kicking Edgar Allan Poe
I am the egg man, we are the egg men, oh I am the walrus, goo goo g’joob
G’goo goo g’joob, goo goo g’joob, g’goo goo g’joob, goo

Notes

"I Am The Walrus" is a cover of The Beatles' classic song, performed by Oasis and often featured in their live shows. This rendition showcases Liam Gallagher's powerful vocals and the band's energetic reinterpretation of the psychedelic rock classic. Originally written by **John Lennon** and released by The Beatles in 1967, the song's surreal lyrics and playful tone made it an iconic piece of psychedelic music history. Oasis's version has become beloved by fans for its raucous energy and was often used as a set closer during live performances.
