	A complete different atmosphere all of a sudden. A complete different singing voice as well: Paul is almost screaming his way through the song. Linda's backing vocals annoy me from the start. I've had enough of the song at 3.00, but Paul decides to move on another two and a half minute. Linda's backing gets more and more annoying. Another Hey Bulldog-like ending. Not one of my favourites of this album.	Bobber	April 11, 2012
	Certainly a unique vocal...although the persistant "ba ba ba ba" in the background can get on one's nerves. In contemplating what this song can possibly be about, I wonder if this was Paul's goofy response to John's "Cold Turkey" song.	Bruce Beatlefan	December 9, 2005

Lyrics

So I sat in the attic,
A piano at my nose,
And the wind played a dreadful cantata (cantata...).

Sore was I from the crack of an enemy's hose,
And the horrible sound of tomato (tomato...).

Ketchup (ketchup)
Soup and puree (soup and puree),
Don't get left behind (get left behind)...

When a rattle of rats had awoken,
The sinews, the nerves and the veins.
My piano was boldly outspoken, in attempts to repeat its refrain.

So I stood with a knot in my stomach,
And I gazed at that terrible sight
Of two youngsters concealed in a barrel,
Sucking monkberry moon delight.

Monkberry moon delight,
Monkberry moon delight.

Well, I know my banana is older than the rest,
And my hair is a tangled beretta.
When I leave my pajamas to billy budapest,
And I don't get the gist of your letter (your letter...).

Catch up! (catch up),
Cats and kittens (cats and kittens),
Don't get left behind (get left behind)...

Monkberry moon delight...
Monkberry moon delight...
