Hey Bulldog
John had brought Yoko into the studio for the first time and she said,'I went to see the Beatles' sessions and in the beginning I thought, "Oh Well", So I said to John, "Why don't you do something more complex?". He noted 'I was doing "Bulldog", it was embarrassing.'
Sheepdog...standing in the rain
Bullfrog...doin' it again
Some kind of happiness
is measured out in miles
What makes you think
you're something special when you smile?
Childlike...no one understands
Jacknife...in your sweaty hands
Some kind of innocence
is measured out in years
You don't know what it's like
to listen to your fears
You can talk to me
You can talk to me
You can talk to me
If you're lonely you can talk to me
Big man...walkin' in the park
Wigwam...frightened of the dark
Some kind of solititude
is measured out in you
You think you know me
But you haven't got a clue
You can talk to me
You can talk to me
You can talk to me
If you're lonely you can talk to me
Hey bulldog...hey bulldog
Hey bulldog...hey bulldog
"Paul said we should do a real song in the studio, to save wasting time. Could I whip one off? I had a few words at home so I brought them in."
John, on how 'Hey Bulldog' was recorded.
