Woman is the nigger of the world
Yes, she is
Think about it
Woman is the nigger of the world
Think about it, do something about it
We make her paint her face and dance
If she won't be a slave, we say that she don't love us
If s
Yes, she is
Think about it
Woman is the nigger of the world
Think about it, do something about it
We make her paint her face and dance
If she won't be a slave, we say that she don't love us
If s
Well Well Well

PAUL 1969: 'On the new album I like 'Come Together,' which is a great one of John's.'JOHN 1980: ''Come Together' is me – writing obscurely around an old Chuck Berry thing.
I left the line 'Here comes old flat-top.' It is nothing like the Chuck Berry song, but they took me to court because I admitted the influence once years ago.
I could have changed it to 'Here comes old iron face,' but the song remains independent of Chuck Berry or anybody else on earth.
The thing was created in the studio.
It's gobbledygook – 'Come Together' was an expression that Tim Leary had come up with for his attempt at being president or whatever he wanted to be, and he asked me to write a campaign song.
I tried and I tried, but I couldn't come up with one.
But I came up with this, 'Come Together,' which would've been no good to him – you couldn't have a campaign song like that, right? Leary attacked me years later, saying I ripped him off.
I didn't rip him off.
It's just that it turned into 'Come Together.' What am I going to do, give it to him? It was a funky record – it's one of my favorite Beatle tracks, or, one of my favorite Lennon tracks, let's say that.
It's funky, it's bluesy, and I'm singing it pretty well.
I like the sound of the record.
You can dance to it.
I'll buy it!' (laughs)

You ain't nothing but a hound dog
Been snoopin' 'round my door
You ain't nothing but a hound dog
Been snoopin' 'round my door
You can wag your tail
But I ain't gonna feed you no moreYou told me you was high class
But I could see through that
She told me you was high class
But I could see through that
And daddy I know
You ain't no real cool catYou ain't nothing but a hound dog
Been snoopin' 'round my door
You ain't nothing but a hound dog
Been snoopin' 'round my door
You can wag your tail
But I ain't gonna feed you no moreYou made me feel so blue
You made me weep and moan
You made me feel so blue
You made me weep and moan
Cause you ain't looking for a woman
All you're lookin' is for a home
Been snoopin' 'round my door
You ain't nothing but a hound dog
Been snoopin' 'round my door
You can wag your tail
But I ain't gonna feed you no moreYou told me you was high class
But I could see through that
She told me you was high class
But I could see through that
And daddy I know
You ain't no real cool catYou ain't nothing but a hound dog
Been snoopin' 'round my door
You ain't nothing but a hound dog
Been snoopin' 'round my door
You can wag your tail
But I ain't gonna feed you no moreYou made me feel so blue
You made me weep and moan
You made me feel so blue
You made me weep and moan
Cause you ain't looking for a woman
All you're lookin' is for a home
