Be Reborn John Lennon

 

 A song parody of “Roll Over Beethoven” by Chuck Berry

 

Gonna send e-mail to God ‘cause that’s the latest way to pray.

Want Him to Give Peace a Chance, and to help us out I’ll say,

“Just send us John Lennon, and we’ll Come Together today.”

 

Back in nineteen sixty-four the Beatles first conquered the world

They captured the hearts of every single boy and girl,

Be reborn, John Lennon, and take us again for a whirl.

 

We survived Y2K, but October makes me feel blue

You’re the reason I’m a writer; I can never pay my debt to you.

Be reborn, John Lennon, and may your fans always be true.

 

Well, if you’ve had a Hard Day’s Night

Or you need Help,

It’s gonna be alright.

If you Twist and Shout

Soon you’ll feel Free

As a Bird, I Feel Fine,

‘Cause Real Love is All You Need

Be reborn, John Lennon, cure my rock’n’roll blues

 

In Strawberry Fields, where nothing is real,

Can’t Imagine that I’m Losing You.

Of the Two of Us, You Were the Walrus

Goo goo goo goo goo’jub

Be reborn, John Lennon, and give the teen groups a clue.

 

You always broke the rules and your thoughts made our minds pop;

You were wickedly witty, never just a smart moptop.

Long as one fan’s alive, your music will never stop

 

Be reborn, John Lennon, Be reborn, John Lennon,

Be reborn, John Lennon, Be reborn, John Lennon,

Be reborn, John Lennon, cure my rock’n’roll blues.
