There Is Something About Lucy

I so often wonder why Lucy was up there in the sky Sporting bright her diamonds Instead of wings to fly And how on a boat she would float Past tangerine trees There is something about this Lucy That keeps eluding me She was clearly here for adventure And the taste of marshmallow pies But I can't help but wonder About those kaleidoscope eyes And when in the newspaper taxis That appeared on the shore Did she get a chance to read about The news today, oh boy As she turned around looking into the sun Did she have her Lennon glasses on These are just some of the things That have me wondering Inside of my cellophane mind Why was Lucy up there in the sky Sporting bright her diamonds Instead of wings to fly I hope Yoko doesn't sue me over this one....

I think Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds was written while Lennon was more than likely sitting there trippin….(LSD) He should've realized instead of the drug that what he really needed was help from above…:)
