In The Beatles song "I am the walrus", has a reference to Edgar Allan Poe in the lyrics, "Man, you should have seen them kicking Edgar Allan Poe", but Edgar Allan poe was a American writer who born in Boston, and he died in Baltimore. John Lennon wants to see the nursery rhyme "Yellow matter custard", from a parody that he sang in elementary school, and learned from the song "I am the walrus", but many words are "Goo goo g'joob", and in the lyrics are "Coo cooo cooo chooob", but in the correct lyrics it's gooo gooo goo jooob.

Eric Burdon said to John BEFORE they wrote i am the walrus About something funny that happened to him where an egg played a magor role, after that John called him the Egg man. that solves the eggman problem,as for the walrus,John Lennon said himself"its from the walrus and the carpenter". That solves the walrus Problem.

When john found out that his junior high teacher was making her students interprit beatles lyrics, he decided to write a song with meaningless lyrics.

In my opinion and in what I have heard, "I am the Walrus" was the Beatles being 110% random. In that time, other bands also wrote songs that made no sense what so ever but became a hit. Drugs may have been an influence in how things were arranged, but you can't blame that. The Beatles saw what others did, and tried it on their own. Which created this hit song. They did take things they knew as inspiration, but just because it was in the song doesn't mean that was what they were trying to make a point off of. This song was meant to make no sense.

This song is a mixture of physcadelic images and nonsense singing, in the vein of Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds and Strawberry Fields Forever. It doesn't have a real meaning. And here's another clue for you all: The walrus was Paul.

FIRST VERSE-
"I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together." - would this not go to show that no matter what differences people think they have from race to race, that they are actually all the part of the "human Race"... Hence- "we are all together"?
the part "see how they fly" could be metaphorically speaking of seeing people with a neuse around their necks, hanging from trees? At the end of this verse when he says "i'm crying" This probably meaning that these acts make him sad.
SECOND VERSE-
I think this whole verse refers to the men who wear suit&tie to work. "sitting on a cornflake, waiting for the van to come" to me, interprets, trying to sit in a crowded bus stand (a cornflake is tiny, much like the amount of room they have to sit on) and the "van" would be a bus (metaphorically called van because the busses are crowded, and feel quite a bit smaller than what you would picture, if you had never been on a city bus)-- "Man, you been a naughty boy, you let your face grow long." I think this means ... They have let themselves into their unhappy job, and are doing nothing to make themselves happy in life... Hence "you've let you face grow long" also used in the common saying "why such a long face?"
THIRD VERSE-
I'm pretty sure that this might be about protesting. "Mister City P'liceman sitting...Pretty little policemen in a row" would refer to the people that run the city, including the policemen that sit in offices, sending "pretty little policemen" (swat) to the scene of a large protest, where they stand in a row, facing the protestors.
"See how they fly like Lucy in the Sky, see how they run." would then refer to when gunshots are fired, the pretty policemen don't think twice about doing so, hence- "see how they fly like lucy in the sky". Leaving the part part saying "see how they run", would be when the protestors run from the gunshots.
FOURTH VERSE-
I believe this verse is about dirty whores, women who will open their legs for anyone.
"yellow matter custard... dripping from a dead dog's eye"- Picture a grubby, dirty man, with diseases (metaphorically called a dog)- this being said, to show the kind of people whore do end up sleeping with. "crabalocker fishwife" means a sexually dirty wife, who has a lot of crabs(crab-a-locker), and smells like fish. "Pornographic Priestess" probably means that even those who are thought to be "pure" are not always that, and they too engage in sexually explicit acts that are done for the wrong reasons, and overall wrong in Gods eyes.
"Boy, you been a naughty girl and you let your knickers down."- pretty self-explanatory! haha

I think that John Lennon wanted the viewers to believe it was just a 'lsd song'
there are a lot of beautiful references throughout and if you take time to think about it the song is obviously about war and finding your identity
great work johnny =)

This song was made because John had received a letter from a man in college that had been interpreting his songs. So John decided to make a song that had no meaning whatsoever. Now that I read about it, this does seem to have some ties with the movie "Alice in Wonderland". But I have read and heard on multiple occasions that this song was written by Paul that wrote down what John was saying during an acid trip. Im not saying that John was all about the drugs, but this was probably one of the occasions where he decided to use drugs to make a song. Classic song. Just classic.
