Last night the wife said, "Oh boy, when you're dead you don't take nothing with you but your soul. Think."
The Beatles - The Ballad of John and Yoko. Here is some Beatles for this Easter weekend.

The recording only features John (lead vocals, lead & acoustic guitars) and Paul (bass, drums, piano & harmony vocals) George was on holiday & Ringo was filming "Magic Christian"! Although the band were falling apart, this recording brought J & P closer for a short time and they seemed to have fun in the studio with lots of banter, such as John (on guitar): "Go a bit faster, Ringo!" - Paul (on drums): "OK, George!" The song lyrics got the boys into trouble again, with several radio stations in the US & UK banning it.
At the time John said, "It's like an old-time ballad. It's just the story of us getting married, going to Paris, going to Amsterdam, all that. It's Johnny B Paperback Writer!"
