The Beatles', "And I Love Her"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
A love like ours could never die
as long as I have you near me
as long as I have you near me
Why They're Nonsensical:
Throughout the entire song, Paul McCartney is referring to his love in the third person. Thus, he is talking about her, not to her. So why does he suddenly change his point of view towards her? He should sing '..as long as I have her near me.'

The Beatles', "Baby You're A Rich Man"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
Baby you're a rich man,
Baby you're a rich man,
Baby you're a rich man too
You keep all your money in a big brown bag,
inside a zoo
What a thing to do
Baby you're a rich man,
Baby you're a rich man too
You keep all your money in a big brown bag,
inside a zoo
What a thing to do
Why They're Nonsensical:
Zoos are not good places to hide money. Didn't John Lennon have a piggy bank or a checking account or something?

Baby, you're a rich man, too
You keep all your money in a big, brown bag,
Inside the zoo! What a thing to do!
You keep all your money in a big, brown bag,
Inside the zoo! What a thing to do!
Why They're Nonsensical:
So, apparently, there's some sort of billionaire who keeps his funds next to Bubbles the chimp and the lemurs?

The Beatles', "Come Together"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
He wear no shoeshine, he got toe-jam football
He got monkey finger, he shoot coca-cola
He got monkey finger, he shoot coca-cola
Why They're Nonsensical:
This is a cool song but what kind of lsd did John do before writing it?

The Beatles', "Come Together"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
He's got feet down below his knees...
Why They're Nonsensical:
Well duh!! Where else would this guy's feet be? Sticking out of his forehead?

The Beatles', "Come Together"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
Here come ol' flat top, he come groovin' up slowly
He got juju eyeballs, he one holy roller
He got juju eyeballs, he one holy roller
Why They're Nonsensical:
The entire lyrics actually belong here. Who knows what was going on at that session...

The Beatles', "Do You Want To Know A Secret?"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
I've known a secret for the week or two.
Why They're Nonsensical:
This is the way George Harrison sings this line in the album version of the song. I think 'THE secret for A week or two' would make a little more sense. However, I'm not sure if he sings it the correct way in any live recordings.

The Beatles', "Eight Days A Week"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
I ain't got nothin' but love, babe
Eight days a week.
Eight days a week.
Why They're Nonsensical:
There's no such thing as eight days a week. There are only seven days in a week.

The Beatles', "Every Little Thing"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
Every little thing she does
She does for me, ooh!
She does for me, ooh!
Why They're Nonsensical:
So she only brreathes in and breathes out for him and only him, does she do her own washing-up for him? Don't get it.

The Beatles', "Her Majesty"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
Her majesty's a pretty nice girl
but she doesn't have a lot to say
but she doesn't have a lot to say
Why They're Nonsensical:
Quite frankly Paul you don't have a whole lot to say either.

The Beatles', "Hey Jude"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
The movement you need is on your shoulder
Why They're Nonsensical:
McCartney says he writes nonsense lyrics for his songs until he can fill them out. This line proved tough to replace but Lennon told him it was brilliant and he should keep it.

The Beatles', "I Am The Walrus"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
I am the eggman
They are the eggmen
I am the Walrus
Goo goo g'joob
They are the eggmen
I am the Walrus
Goo goo g'joob
Why They're Nonsensical:
People go on about the swinging sixties,Beatlemania,etc.Visions of thousands of teenage girls screaming themselves into insensibility. Whatever. Something was also so far up it's own ass it was totally untrue. When I first read the full lyrics of this number I was so taken aback by the total unintelligibility of them that I decided,before commenting on it, to check out if it had any possible coded meaning or something.However,as with so many such nonsense songs,there were far too many possible origins floating around.Guys,get this,the whole song reads like the worst spewing out of pure bull ever dreamt up in the name of entertainment.Like,the worst of the worst.Craziest of the crazy.Baddest of the bad trips.Check it out .YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

The Beatles', "Penny Lane"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
Penny Lane is in my ears
and in my eyes
and in my eyes
Why They're Nonsensical:
What's he mean 'Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes'? Penny Lane sounds like a street name.

The Beatles', "She Came In Through The Bathroom Window"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
And so I quit the police department
And so I got a steady job.
And though she did her best to help me
She could steal but she could not rob.
And so I got a steady job.
And though she did her best to help me
She could steal but she could not rob.
Why They're Nonsensical:
She could steal but she could not rob?! What the hell?! How does one steal but can't rob?

The Beatles', "She's A Woman"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
My love don't give me presents
I know that she's no peasant
I know that she's no peasant
Why They're Nonsensical:
These are the first two lines of the song, and it's not a great start. What does it mean when a woman is not a peasant? I think Paul couldn't come up with any other word to rhyme with presents.

The Beatles', "Strawberry Fields Forever"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
Always, no sometimes, think it's me
But you know I know and it's a dream
I think, I know, I mean, ah yes but it's all wrong
That is, I think I disagree
But you know I know and it's a dream
I think, I know, I mean, ah yes but it's all wrong
That is, I think I disagree
Why They're Nonsensical:
Ummm... good song, but what the hell?? This whole song is random, but eh? It sounds like an indecisive little kid: 'Did you break that toy little Paul? Uh, I think, uh, I mean, uh yes, but no...

The Beatles', "The Inner Light"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
Arrive without traveling
See all without looking
do all without doing.
See all without looking
do all without doing.
Why They're Nonsensical:
The final lyrics of this song don't make any sense whatsoever! I mean 'arrive without traveling' applies to 'the farther one travels the less one knows', and some people 'see' stuff in their heads - but nobody can 'do all without doing'

The Beatles', "While My Guitar Gently Weeps"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
I look at the floor
and I see it needs sweeping
While my guitar gently weeps.
and I see it needs sweeping
While my guitar gently weeps.
Why They're Nonsensical:
Well... sweep it up then, George! If the floor needed sweeping, why couldn't he have got off his bum and swept it?

The Beatles', "Why Don't We Do It In The Road?"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
Why don't we do it in the road?
No one will be watching us
Why don't we do it in the road?
No one will be watching us
Why don't we do it in the road?
Why They're Nonsensical:
I'm sure it will be very hard to notice you, right in the middle of traffic...

The Beatles', "Yellow Submarine"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
And our friends are all aboard
Many more of them live next door
Many more of them live next door
Why They're Nonsensical:
Listen, if your friends are all aboard, then you can't have any other friends who live next door. Period.
Submitted by: Jeff Stambo
The Beatles', "Yellow Submarine"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
And our friends are all aboard
Many more of them live next door
Many more of them live next door
Why They're Nonsensical:
It isn't the poor rhyme of 'aboard' and 'door that confuses me; nor even that there are people 'living next door' to a submarine. What I want to know is: If all your friends are aboard, how can 'many more of them live next door'? Which is it, John and Paul: all or some of your friends are aboard?

The Beatles', "Yesterday"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
Why she had to go I don't know, she wouldn't say
I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday
I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday
Why They're Nonsensical:
One second you say you don't know why she left then the next you say it was because you said something wrong, so you obviously do know!
