New York City

Standing on the cornerJust me and yoko onoWe was waiting for jerry to landUp come a man with the guitarin his handSinging "have a marijuana if you can"His name was Davis PeelAnd we found that he was realHe sangs"The pope smokesdope everyday"Up come a police man shovedus up the streetSingin, "power to thepeople today!"

NYC...NYC...NYCQue pasa Ny?...Que pasa NY?

Well we went to max'sKansas CityGot down the nitty grittyWith the Elephants MemoryBandLaid something downAs the news spread aroundAbout the Plastic OnoElephants Memory Band!Well we played some funkyboogieAnd laid some tutti fruttiSinging "Long tall sally'sa man"Up come a preachman trying to be a teacherSinging "God's a red herring in grag!"
