"Get Back" to the Beatles' Zoo (part II) Quiz

Answer: Monkey

John Lennon once described this song as being "About me and Yoko. Everybody seemed to be paranoid except for us two, who were in the glow of love."

Answer: Penny Lane

The full lyric reads:

"Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes
Four of fish and finger pies
In summer, meanwhile back..."

Answer: Cows

The complete lyric reads:

"Whoa-I, whoa-I,
I got a whole lot of things to tell her,
When I get home.
When I'm getting home tonight,
I'm gonna hold her tight.
I'm gonna love her till the cows come home,
I bet I'll love her more,
Till I walk out that door
Again. "

Answer: Good Morning Good Morning

John Lennon watched a lot of TV. He wrote this after hearing "Good Morning, Good Morning" in an ad for Corn Flakes.

(For the record, I made up the song "Daybreak" - it is not a song by The Beatles....just trying to keep you on your toes!)

Answer: Lizard

Hey, I told you the lyrics were weird!

Here is the complete intro:

"She's not a girl who misses much
Do do do do do do do do
She's well acquainted with the touch of the velvet hand
Like a lizard on a window pane.

The man in the crowd with the multicolored mirrors
On his hobnail boots
Lying with his eyes while his hands are busy
Working overtime
A soap impression of his wife which he ate
And donated to the Nation Trust."

Answer: Glass Onion

Here is the closing stanza:

"I told you about the fool on the hill
I tell you man he living there still
Well here's another place you can be
Listen to me.
Fixing a hole in the ocean
Trying to make a dove-tail joint-yeah
Looking through a glass onion."

Answer: Come Together

Here is a sample of some of the bizarre lyrics that have become so commonplace:

"He bag production he got walrus gumboot
He got Ono sideboard he one spinal cracker
He got feet down below his knee
Hold you in his armchair you can feel his disease
Come together right now over me"

Answer: Let it Be

This song was listed as "I Dig A Pony" on the album "Let it Be". You'll note that John makes reference to the word "Moondog" in the song; when the Beatles started out one of their early band names was Johnny & The Moondogs.

Answer: A Hard Day's Night

The intro lines are:

"It's been a hard day's night, and I been working like a dog
It's been a hard day's night, I should be sleeping like a log
But when I get home to you I find the things that you do
Will make me feel alright"

Answer: Eagle

Ringo Starr affectionately recalls recording this song in the stripped-down conditions, saying it was like the old days of Beatles live performances. I believe that this is the only song that mentions an eagle.
