Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds  ahhhhhhhh (at end of song) ahhhhh/ahhhhh

Follow her down to a bridge by the fountain
Where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies
Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers
That grow so incredibly high
Newspaper taxis appear on the shore
Waiting to take you away
Climb in the back with your head in the clouds 
And you're gone ...CHORUS

Picture yourself on a train in a station
With plasticine porters with looking glass ties
Suddenly someone is there at the turnstile
The girl with caleidoscope eyes ...CHORUS TWICE
