At the end of the song voices are heard speaking, thought by some to be references to Paul’s untimely „death.“ In reality it was a BBC
performance of Shakespeare’s King Lear which John Lennon had taped off the radio.
King Lear Act IV, Scene 6, lines 249-259:
Oswald: Slave, thou hast slain me. Villain, take my purse.
If ever thou wilt thrive, bury my body
And give the letters which you find’st about me
To Edmund, Earl of Gloucester. Seek him out
Upon the English party. O, untimely death!
Death! [He dies]
Edgar: I know thee well: a serviceable villain,
As duteous to the vices of thy mistress
As badness would desire.
Gloucester: What, is he dead?
Edgar: Sit you down, father. Rest you. [Gloucester sits.]
Over all this is a choir, six boys singing „Oompah, oompah, stick it up your jumper,“ and six girls singing „Everybody’s got one.“
