The Carpenter's Menu
The song is called 'I Am The Walrus' and all of The Beatles did not write it, John Lennon did (credited to Lennon-McCartney). Actually, it was written by John after receiving a letter from a pupil from the high school he attended. The writer told him that their English teacher was making his class analyse Beatle lyrics, and John was amused so he wrote the most confusing lyrics he could think of, hence I Am The Walrus.

John Lennon was drawing on "The Walrus and the Carpenter" by Lewis Carroll, not realizing at the time that the poem was a comment on rich versus poor. "Yellow matter custard" was from a nonsense rhyme he'd loved as a boy. "Elementary penguin singing Hare Krishna" was a knock on people who oversimplified their beliefs, or "put all their faith in one idol".According to the Beatles book "A Hard Day's Write", "I Am The Walrus" is an amalgamation of three separate songs that were not quite enough to make it on their own.John Lennon was inspired by a distant police siren for the first part, the second part was a pastoral melody conceived when John was relaxing at home in his garden, and third was a nonsense piece. It sounds all very credible for John Lennon and, fully aware that it was a compilation of disjointed themes and ideas, Lennon was reputed to have said, "Let the ******* work that one out", referring to the music critics.The only serious line in the whole song is the first one, "I am he, as you are he, as you are me and we are all together", which is "a vision of the unity of all things" according to Lennon.
