LYRICS:
Standing in the dock at Southampton,
Trying to get to Holland or France.
The man in the mac said, "You've got to go back".
You know they didn't even give us a chance.
Christ you know it ain't easy,
You know how hard it can be.
The way things are going
They're gonna crucify me.
Finally made the plane into Paris,
Honeymooning down by the Seine.
Peter Brown called to say,
"You can make it O.K.,
You can get married in Gibraltar, near Spain".
Christ you know it ain't easy,
You know how hard it can be.
The way things are going
They're gonna crucify me.
Drove from Paris to the Amsterdam Hilton,
Talking in our beds for a week.
The newspaper said, "Say what you doing in bed?"
I said, "We're only trying to get us some peace".
Christ you know it ain't easy,
You know how hard it can be.
The way things are going
They're gonna crucify me.
Saving up your money for a rainy day,
Giving all your clothes to charity.
Last night the wife said,
"Oh boy, when you're dead
You don't take nothing with you
But your soul - think!"
Made a lightning trip to Vienna,
eating chocolate cake in a bag.
The newspaper said, "She's gone to his head,
They look just like two gurus in drag".
Christ you know it ain't easy,
You know how hard it can be.
The way things are going
They're gonna crucify me.
Caught the early plane back to London.
Fifty acorns tied in a sack.
The men from the press said, "We wish you success,
It's good to have the both of you back".
Christ you know it ain't easy,
You know how hard it can be.
The way things are going
They're gonna crucify me.
The way things are going
They're gonna crucify me.
This has over the years become my favorite Lennon song. Maybe my favorite Beatles song.

It’s the bollocks isn’t it 😂
This may be the last song that Lennon and McCartney actually worked on together. Their relationship was up and down at that time, but John was very appreciative of Paul's help on this one. Recorded in one [long] session on the day it was written. What talent they had!!!
Hey, good job, everyone!
this is how you cover a beatle song. Bravo!
I took to RUclips in blind search of a ballad of john and yoko cover on a whim. This was an extraordinary "Mini-Movie"; better than anything I could have ever imagined, even in my wildest dreams.
Amazing! Great cover of a great song.
Enjoyed the cover as well as the video
True genius will pass the test of time. Been 12 years now.
Box checked.
This is my favorite Beatles tune. Excellent cover! 👍✌
if you downvoted this, well, then you are probably not having as much fun as they are.
Sean Lynch well, that's pretty obvious. Lol
Covers alright, video sucks. I dont doubt they are having fun, they should. Otherwise why bother.
you probably dont give a shit but if you are bored like me atm then you can watch pretty much all the latest movies on InstaFlixxer. Have been binge watching with my brother these days :)
@Jaime Cody Definitely, I've been using instaflixxer for months myself :)
Chida versión 😋👍🇲🇽
This has to be best cover of song . Great job Guys and Ladies . And dog 😊
Felt I am at a party while watching this video. Good vibe!!
I started watching cars and I have no idea how I ended up here but I really enjoyed 👍🏼
This is both a real nice cover and an adorable video. I wanna hang out with you all, and all of your friends
Superb! My all time favorite! :)
50 acorns tied in a sack--love that lyric. If you're a yoko hater don't look up where the line came from.
