Be My Yoko Ono Lyrics & Video

Words & Music by Steven Page & Ed Robertson

if there's someone you can live without, then do so.

And if there's someone you can just shove out, do so.

Chorus

You can be my Yoko Ono

You can follow me wherever I go

Be my, be my, be my Yoko Ono.

isn't it beautiful to see two people so much in love?

Barenaked as two virgins hand in hand and hand and hand in glove.

Now that I'm far away it doesn't seem to me to be such a pain.

To have you hanging off my ankle like some kind of ball and chain.

Chorus

Oh no, here we go, our life is just one big pun.

Oh no, here we go as Yoko sings

Aieee!

I know that when I say this

I may be stepping on pins and needles.

But I don't like all these people

slagging her for breaking up the Beatles.

(Don't blame it on Yokey!)

if I was John and you were Yoko,

I would gladly give up musical genius,

just to have you as my very own, personal Venus.

(Hit it!)
