[00:03.80] Standing on the corner
[00:05.10] Just me and Yoko Ono
[00:06.28] We was waiting for Jerry to land
[00:10.40] Up come a man with a guitar in his hand
[00:13.35] Singing "Have a marijuana if you can"
[00:16.94] His name was David Peel
[00:18.36] And we found that he was real
[00:20.08] He sang "The Pope smokes dope every day"
[00:23.67] Up come a policeman shoved us up the street
[00:26.51] Singing "Power to the people today "
[00:29.41] New York City
[00:32.71] New York City
[00:36.13] New York City
[00:39.98] Que pasa New York
[00:41.50] Que pasa New York
[00:46.12] Well down to Max's Kansas City
[00:48.00] Got down the nitty gritty
[00:49.66] With the Elephants Memory Band
[00:53.51] Laid something down
[00:54.84] As the news spread around
[00:56.30] About the Plastic Ono Elephants Memory Band
[00:59.80] And we played some funky boogie
[01:01.49] And laid some tutti frutti
[01:03.07] Singing "Long Tall Sally's a man "
[01:06.83] Up come a preacherman trying to be a teacher
[01:09.68] Singing "God's a red herring in drag "
[01:12.76] New York City
[01:16.28] New York City
[01:20.03] New York City

[02:13.75] we did Well the Staten Island Ferry
[02:16.09] Making movies for the telly
[02:17.35] Played the Fillmore and Apollo for freedom
[02:21.20] Tried to shake our image
[02:22.52] Just a cycling through the Village
[02:24.10] But found that we had left it back in London
[02:27.58] Well nobody came to bug us
[02:29.51] Hustle us or shove us
[02:31.07] So we decided to make it our home
[02:34.58] If the Man wants to shove us out
[02:36.30] We gonna jump and shout
[02:37.88] The Statue of Liberty said "Come "
