Album lyrics:


Blue Suede Shoes.
(C.L. Perkins)

‘Get you're matches ready, ladies and gentleman the Plastic Ono Band, Toronto welcomes the Plastic Ono Band, Toronto proudly welcomes the plastic ono band, give peace a chance’

‘Hello! A-good evening! Ah! Okay? Okay, we're just gonna do numbers that we know, you know, 'cause we've never played together before. Okay’

Well, it's a one for the money, two for the show
Three to get ready, now go, cat, go!
Don't you step on my blue suede shoes
Well, you can do anything
But lay off them blue suede shoes

Well, you can knock me down, step in my face
Slander my name all over the place
Do anything that you wanna do
But, aw-aw, honey, lay off them shoes

Don't you step on my blue suede shoes
Well, you can do anything
But lay off them blue suede shoes

Well, you can burn my house, steal my car
Drink my liquor from the old fruit jar
Do anything that you wanna do
But, aw-aw, honey, lay off them shoes

Don't you step on my blue suede shoes
Well, you can do anything
But lay off them blue suede shoes

Well, hey!

Well, it's blue, blue, blue suede shoes
Hey, blue, blue, blue suede shoes
Babe, blue, blue, blue suede shoes
Hey, blue, blue, blue suede shoes
Well, you can do anything
But lay off my blue suede shoes

‘Thank you!’


Money.
(Bradford-Gordy)

‘One
'Money' in 'E'’

One, two, three, four!

The best things in life are free
But you can give it to the birds and bees
I want money
That's what I want
That's what I want, yeah
That's what I want

Money don't get everything it's true
What it don't get I can't use
Now give me money
That's what I want
That's what I want, yeah
That's what I want

Ow!

Your love give me such a thrill
But your love don't pay no bills
Now give me money
That's what I want
That's what I want, yeah
That's what I want

Hey! Now give me money
Whole lot of money
Lots of money
Give me money
That's what I want, want
That's what I want

Well, now give me money
Whole lot of money
Yeah, give me money
Whole lot of money
That's what I want, yeah
That's what I want


Dizzy Miss Lizzie.
(Williams)

You make me dizzy, miss Lizzy
When you rock and roll
You make me dizzy, miss Lizzy
When you do the stroll
Come on, miss Lizzy
Love me 'fore I grow too old

Come on, give me fever
Put your little hand in mine
Oh, baby
Girl, you look so fine
Come on, come on, come on, come on, Lizzy
I wanna be your lovin' man

Ooh, ow! Ow!

Come on, give me fever
Put your little hand in mine
Oh, hey! Baby
Girl, you look so fine
Come on, come on, come on, come on, Lizzy
I wanna be your lovin' man

You make me dizzy, miss Lizzy
When you rock and roll
You make me dizzy, miss Lizzy
When you do the stroll
Come on, miss Lizzy
Love me 'fore I grow too old

Come on, give me fever
Put your little hand in mine
Yeah, baby
Girl, you look so fine
Come on, come on, come on, come on, Lizzy, ho!
Girl, I wanna be your man


Yer Blues.
(Lennon-McCartney)

‘'Yer Blues', okay?’

One, two, yeah one, two, three

Yes, I'm lonely, wanna die
Yes, I'm lonely, wanna die
If I ain't dead already
Hoo, girl, you know the reason why

In the mornin', wanna die
In the evenin', wanna die
If I ain't dead already
Hoo, girl, you know the reason why

My mother was of the sky
My father was of the earth
But I am of the universe
And you know what it's worth

I'm lonely, wanna die
If I ain't dead already
Hoo, girl, you know the reason why

The eagle picks my eye
The worm he licks my bone
I feel so suicidal
Just like Dylan's Mister Jones

Lonely, wanna die
If I ain't dead already
Hoo, girl, you know the reason why

Black cloud crossed my mind
Blue mist round my soul
Feel so suicidal
Even hate my rock and roll

I'm lonely, wanna die, yeah!
If I ain't dead already
Hoo, girl, you know the reason why


Cold Turkey.
(Lennon)

‘This is a newest song that, er...John wrote’
‘And we've never done this number before so best of luck. It's called 'Cold Turkey'’

The temperature's risin'
Fever is high
Can't see no future
Can't see no sky

Feet are so heavy
So is my head
Wish I was a baby
I wish I was dead

Cold turkey has got me on the run

My body is aching
Goose pimple bone
Can't see nobody
Leave me alone

Eyes are wide open
So is my head
There's one thing I'm sure of
I'm in at the deep freeze

Cold turkey has got me on the run

Thirty-six hours
Rollin' in pain
Prayin' to someone
Free me again

Oh, I'll be a good boy
Please, make me well
I'll give you anything
Get me out of this hell

Well, cold turkey has got me on the run

‘I've got to get that voice, aahh, aahh’

‘How are we doin'?’


Give Peace A Chance.
(Lennon-McCartney)

‘Ah, this is what we came for really, it's 'Give Peace A Chance' so sing along with it I've forgotten all the bits in between but I know the chorus so’

Ein, schwei, ein, schwei, drei, vier!

Everybody's talkin' 'bout
Bagism dragism fagism shagism
This-ism, That-ism, prisonism, ism, ism

All we are saying is give peace a chance
All we are saying is give peace a chance

Everybody's talkin' 'bout
Revolution, evolution, masturbation
Castration, United Nations, congratulation
Maybe, maybe, Teddy Roosevelt

All we are saying is give peace a chance
All we are saying is give peace a chance

Everybody's talkin' 'bout
John and Yoko, Eric Clapton, Klaus Voorman
Penny Lane, Roosevelt, Nixon, Tommy Jones and
Tommy Cooper, and somebody

All we are saying is give peace a chance
All we are saying is give peace a chance

All we are saying is give peace a chance
All we are saying is give peace a chance

All we are saying is give peace a chance
All we are saying is give peace a chance

All we are saying is give peace a chance
All we are saying is give peace a chance

All we are saying is give peace a chance


Don't Worry Kyoko (Mummy's Only Looking For Her Hand In The Snow).
(Ono)

‘And now Yoko's gonna do her thing all over you!’

Don't worry, don't worry, don't worry
Don't worry, don't worry
Don't worry, don't worry
Don't worry, don't worry, don't worry, Kyoko

Don't worry
Don't worry, don't worry
Kyoko, Kyoko, Kyoko, Kyoko, Kyoko
Don't, don't, don't worry, Kyoko
Mum's only looking for her hand in the snow
Mum's only looking for her hand in the snow

Don't -
Don't, don't, don't worry
Don't worry

Don't worry, don't worry
Don't worry -
Don't worry -


John John (Let's Hope For Peace).
(Ono)

Oh, John, let's hope for peace

John, oh, John
Let's hope for peace
Let's hope for peace
Let's hope for peace

  1. Live Peace in Toronto 1969 is a live album by the Plastic Ono Band, released in December 1969 on Apple Records.

    Recorded at the Toronto Rock and Roll Revival festival, it was the first live album released by any member of the Beatles separately or together.

    John Lennon and his wife Yoko Ono received a phone call from the festival's promoters John Brower and Kenny Walker, and then assembled a band on very short notice for the festival, which was due to start the following day.

    The band included Eric Clapton, Klaus Voormann, and drummer Alan White. The group flew from London and had brief unamplified rehearsals on the plane before appearing on the stage to perform several songs; one of which, "Cold Turkey", was first performed live at the festival. After returning home, Lennon mixed the album in a day.

    The original LP included a 13-month 1970 calendar.
