[Chorus]
Well, well, well
Oh well
Well, well, well
Oh well

[Verse 1]
I took my loved one out to dinner
So we could get a bite to eat
And though we both had been much thinner
She looked so beautiful, I could eat her

[Chorus]
Well, well, well
Oh well
Well, well, well
Oh well

[Verse 2]
I took my loved one to the big field
So we could watch the English sky
We both were nervous, feeling dizzy
And neither one of us knew just why

[Chorus]
Well, well, well
Oh well
Well, well, well
Oh well
Well, well, well
Oh well
Well, well, well
Oh well
Well, well, well
Oh well
Well, well, well
Oh well
Well, well, well
Oh well
Well, well, well
Oh well
Well, well, well
Oh well
Well, well, well
Oh well
Well, well, well
Well
Well
Well
Well
Well
Well
Well
Well
Well, well

[Instrumental Verse]

[Chorus]
Well, well, well
Oh well
Well, well, well
Oh well

[Verse 3]
We sat and talked of revolution
Just like two liberals in the sun
We talked of women's revolution
And how the hell we could get things done

[Chorus]
Well, well, well
Oh well
Well, well, well
Oh well

[Verse 2 Repeat]
I took my loved one to a big field
So we could catch the English sky
We both were nervous, feeling guilty
And neither one of us knew just why

[Chorus]
Well, well, well
Oh well
Well, well, well
Oh well
Well, well, well
Oh well
Well, well, well
Oh well
Well, well, well
Oh well
Well, well, well
Well
Well, well, well
Well
Well
Well

John Lennon

As the founding member of The Beatles, John Winston Lennon (1940-1980) is one of the most recognizable cultural icons of the 20th Century. He is also the other half of the Lennon-McCartney songwriting partnership, alongside fellow Beatle, Paul McCartney.

As a solo artist and through his relationship and collaboration with avant-garde artist Yoko Ono, he became just as recognizable for his political activism.

Lennon was murdered by Mark David Chapman on December 8, 1980, outside of his New York apartment, The Dakota. Since then, his music and message remain timeless.
