Cocamamie Business

By George Harrison

Transcribed by Petteri Järvinen

Bust my back on the Levy - broke my strings on the BBC

Found my chops on Eel Pie Island - paid my dues at the Marquee

Slagged off by the N.M.E. - lost my stash and my virginity

In this Cockamamie Business

Got my face on Ed Sullivan - broke my heart on the Soul Train

Introduced to Bad Company - lost cells down at Brain Drain

And before I could mend - lost the missus, missed the girlfriend

In this Cockamamie Business

Now we like to air condition - though the air has no ozone ring

Still they're chopping down the forest for McDonalds and the Burger

King

Eating cows with such persistance - doesn't offer much resistance

To this Cockamamie Business

There are too many things - stressing out the nervous system

Girls you used to know - fellas that may have kissed'em

Some got rabies - Some got fleas - some got incurable diseases

>From this Cockamamie Business

Everybody's after as many points as they can get

As long as it's not them that has to pay

No one really minds the Debt

5-Star actors, tax inspectors, film producers and directors

With their Cockamamie Business

Well you do what you can - can't do much more than that

(No you can't do what he just said)

Some days you're pretty sharp - on other days you feel half dead

(While you make your daily bread)

Didn't want to be a star - wanted just to play guitar
