Let's spread some musical misinformation

Really I read Sir Paul was starving since the recording session was taking so long and they hadn't had dinner

his original lyrics

Picture yourself in a boat without dinner
Wishing you had some tangerine and marmalade pies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly
A girl with some marsh mellow pies

Uneatable flowers of yellow and green
floating around in your head
Look for the girl who claimed to have pies
And she's gone

Lucy where’s your pies I’m cryin
Lucy where’s your pies I’m cryin
Lucy where’s your pies I’m cryin, ah
 
A strumpet is an overtly friendly and potentially pricey trumpet. Brass is the only essential element.
I thought a $trumpet is more like this...

Actually, at one time the Donald was very much involved in bass amplification and loudspeaker design. He invented a novel way of measuring the pressure wave and air displacement of large bass cab and PA systems using his patented Dynamic Overdrive Noise scale (or DON for short). In this photo you can see Trump standing inches away from a bass cab on his right while a low F is being played at full volume through an 8x10 cab with 1500 watts of amplification. Judging from his hair position, the cab is producing nearly ten full DONs of air displacement. For reference, one DON is barely tolerable for most people, ten DONs is virtually unbearable for anyone.

The same little guy who turns the fridge light out after you close the fridge door likes to camp out in gig bags and put all the strings outta whack. Keep a posy of fresh lavender in the pocket and he'll usually go sleep elsewhere.

I'm not surprised.
Yeah, it happens during the gigs. I unwrap all my cables and set up. After the gig, I'm always short 21 or 2 wraps. I thought it was some Twilight Zone thing like socks in the dryer. Now that I know, I'm going to get one of those lavender bags girls put in their underwear drawer. Has to be cheaper than the frequent visits to GC to buy another pack of cable wraps.
