During the Anthology interviews George credits the Maharishi as some direct inspiration for a few lyrics (Come on you're such a joy, i.e.)

First interpretation and second combined are right.

Again, John said it himself.

I recommend a few people out there find copies of
the Lennon Tapes and read the last interview he did
with Playboy. So many songs that I have read "interpretations" of are outright discussed their by their
author.

'Beatlesongs' is by William Dowlding, not Golding...

Ok as unpleasent as this may seem to everyone including myself . I believe this song written by john is a responce to the horrible rap Yoko got not just from female fans ,but from male fans also . I remember people saying what is he doing with that monkey as well as other insults that she was forced to bear just because she was different . It was John saying we are all different but at least Yoko and i are not hiding it here we are accept us or not we don't care .He also says that she is a joy he pleads for people to take it easy and finaly for all to make it easy and stop the hatred towards her

Most agree that the song is about the relationship between John Lennon (Me) and Yoko Ono (My Monkey). However, it should also be considered that monkey may refer to an addiction.

TO the last post . Yes it could but then the rest of the song would support that idea
