Whatever happened to
John Lennon

Well she used to be an artist
But she threw away the key
Got a job
You know nine to five

And the most peculiar people
Hang around her everyday
Bunch of slobs
You know the kind

Now she's coming from nowhere
Keeps herself in the dark
Hides her head in a scarf
Got her books in a shawl

Whatever happened to
The woman we once knew
The river's rising fast
And if she hears me now
Trying to get the message somehow
Don't burn the boats till last

She used to be a swimmer
Now the rope´s around her neck
Such a shame
Ain't that a shame

And her mother was a lawyer
Taught her how to read a check
You know the game
Who's to blame

Comin' from nowhere
She keeps herself in the dark
Hides her head in a scarf
Got her books in a shawl

Whatever happened to
The woman we once knew
The river's rising fast
And if she's listening now
Trying to get the message somehow
Don't burn the boats
They're built to last

Well she used to be an artist
But she threw away the key
Got a job
You know nine to five
Got a job
Job!
You know nine to five

The most peculiar people
Hang around her everyday
Bunch of slobs
You know the kind

Going from nowhere
Ah she keeps herself in the dark
Hides her head in the scarf
Got her books in the shawl

Whatever happened to
The woman we once knew
The river's rising fast
And now she´s never known
Trying to get the message somehow
The boat is burning fast
