JOHN LENNON LYRIFICATION PROJECT: "Sad Michael", adapted by Joel Sattler


SAD MICHAEL

[from "Sad Michael" adapted by Joel Sattler
from a chapter in IN HIS OWN WRITE by John Lennon]


No need for sadness
Michael don't you cry
No need for sadness
Michael don't you cry

There was no simple reason
For Michael to be said that morning
The little wretch everyone liked
The scab a hard day's night

Michael was a cocky
He was a cocky watchtower
His wife her name was Bernie
She had a well controlled power

She wrabbed his norman lunch
But he was still so sad
So strange for a man who have everything
And a wife to boot he had

The fire was burking bridelly
When it was 4 o'clock
A Poleaseman clubbed in to parse the time around
"Goddeven Mike!" he talked

But Michael did not answer
"Goddeven Michael please!"
For he was debb and duff
And he just could not speeg
