Tanmateix, no va ser fins a tres o quatre anys després, quan vaig començar l'institut, que en l'assignatura de música vaig descobrir l'original d'aquesta peça. L'accés a la música en aquell moment era més complicat que avui dia que disposem de la xarxa per descobrir i descarregar discos fins a l'extenuació. En la ràdio podies escoltar-la, però els discos te'ls havies de gravar d'amics i coneguts, i, en el millor dels casos, si ho permetia l'economia dels progenitors, comprar-los. Així que va ser a través del professor de música que vaig escoltar Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band que me'l va gravar en cassette. Juntament, per cert, amb el disc Swordfishtrombones de Tom Waits. No té a veure una cosa amb l'altra, però és un dels millors records que guarde d'aquella època, i que paga la pena recordar-lo per fer una crida a favor de l'ensenyança pública i les possibilitats que representa per raons purament culturals, al marge de la seua concepció adoctrinadora que, per cert, criticava furiosament aquell professor de l'assignatura de música. Però, això ja es una altra història.

I am he as you are he as you are me
And we are all together
See how they run like pigs from a gun see how they fly
I'm crying
Sitting on a cornflake waiting for the van to come
Corporation teeshirt, stupid bloody Tuesday
Man you been a naughty boy. You let your face grow long
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen
I am the walrus, goo goo goo joob
Mister City Policeman sitting, pretty little policemen in a row
See how they fly like Lucy in the sky, see how they run
I'm crying, I'm crying
I'm crying, I'm crying
Yellow matter custard dripping from a dead dog's eye
Crabalocker fishwife pornographic priestess
Boy you been a naughty girl, you let your knickers down
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen
I am the walrus, goo goo goo joob
Sitting in an English garden waiting for the sun
If the sun don't come
You get a tan from standing in the English rain
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen
I am the walrus, goo goo goo joob goo goo goo goo joob
Expert textpert choking smokers
Don't you think the joker laughs at you? (Ha ha ha! He he he! Ha ha ha!)
See how they smile like pigs in a sty, see how they snied
I'm crying
Semolina pilchard climbing up the Eiffel Tower
Elementary penguin singing Hare Krishna
Man you should have seen them kicking Edgar Alan Poe
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen
I am the walrus, goo goo goo joob goo goo goo joob
Goo goo goo joob goo goo goo joob
Goo gooooooooooo jooba jooba jooba jooba jooba jooba
Jooba jooba
Jooba jooba
Jooba jooba
And we are all together

I am the eggman, they are the eggmen
