[Intro]
Okay, we'll do "Sitting in the La La"
That'll get rid of that
1, 2, 3, 4

[Chorus 1]
Sitting in the la la
Waiting for the ya ya, mhm
Sitting in the la la
Waiting for the ya ya, uh huhu

[Chorus 2]
It may sound funny
But it's alright honey, uh huhu

[Chorus 3]
Hey, baby, worry
Don't make me worry, uh huhu
Hey, baby, hurry
Don't make me worry, uh huhu

[Chorus 2]
It may sound umpty
But it's Humpty Dumpty

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.
