Beatles, The - Mean Mr. Mustard Lyrics






Mean Mister Mustard sleeps in the park
Shaves in the dark trying to save paper
Sleeps in a hole in the road
Saving up to buy some clothes
Keeps a ten-bob note up his nose
Such a mean old man
Such a mean old man

His sister Pam works in a shop
She never stops, she's a go-getter
Takes him out to look at the queen
Only place that he's ever been
Always shouts out something obscene
Such a dirty old man
Dirty old man

    Short and simple song but John Lennon and Paul McCartney, songwriting genius. Ringo and George added the sugar to the song.

  8. S.... ....

    Running through your lover like

  9. N.... G....

    "His sister Pam works in a shop, she never stops, she's a go-getter." Oh, those harmonies!

  10. U.... M....

    This song started Nirvana ...

  11. k.... ....

    A few bits and pieces of semi written songs put together so deliciously... so good

  12. M.... ....

    They should have wrote more verses about other condiments.

  13. j.... ....

  19. G.... H....

    This album was really the gateway for Rock Operas

  20. L.... M....

    Simply put! Lennon and McCartney were musical freaks. NOBODY WILL EVER COME CLOSE. Jesus those two were. At this point I'm lost for words.

  21. R.... D....

    Fuck u tube ...they cut this song off after 3 verses, I tried 3x to listen but they chop it off. Guess I'll pull out out my disc. FUCK U TUBE!!!

  22. D.... M....

    What is that bass voice on the left channel? Is that a Moog synth doing that part?

  23. A.... ....

    Love how the song gets faster gradually and just one minute long! Amazing.

  24. f.... ....

    Is there any doubt this is their greatest song? I think it's the tambourine.

  25. H.... O....

    I prefer nice mrs ketchup

  28. S.... T....

    Kolman's mustard is so so spicy. It's effective against flu.

  29. P.... H....

    It sounds like a Jack Johnson song. He could do a version of this, would be pretty cool indeed

  30. J.... C....

    - Lead & Backing Vocals, Rhythm Guitar, Piano & Maracas: John Lennon
    - Backing Vocals & Fuzz Bass: Paul McCartney

    J.... C....

    Thank you

  31. K.... B....

    Easiest Beatles song to play on the guitar

  32. t.... ....

    Only John could create word play like "Mean Mr Mustard sleeps in the park, shaves in the dark....". Even Mr Mustard is a great name.

  33. L.... S....

    Nostalgic.

  34. E.... V....

    Tanto talento Dios mío! !

  35. b.... c....

    heyo mr.mustard

    Newspaper shenanigans

  37. I.... ....

    *50 years ago today!!!*

  38. U.... S....

    *John in the back of the room*
    "Boys, I got a idea for a song title!"
    *everyone turns*
    "Well blab it out."
    "MEAN MR MUSTARD"

    U.... S....

    It's better that the one Paul suggested to write about John . . . "You're a Bastard".

  39. v.... m....

    one minut masterpiece

  40. T.... ....

    Mean Mister Mustard sleeps in the park
    Shaves in the dark trying to save paper
    Sleeps in a hole in the road
    Saving up to buy some clothes
    Keeps a ten-bob note up his nose
    Such a mean old man
    Such a mean old man

    His sister Pam works in a shop
    She never stops, she's a go-getter
    Takes him out to look at the queen
    Only place that he's ever been
    Always shouts out something obscene
    Such a dirty old man
    Dirty old man

  41. J.... W....

    So basically me in 50 years

  42. D.... H....

    could do with some COWBELL on this?.......

  43. L.... S....

    His sister pam
    Is that polythene pam

  44. d.... t....

    Such a gay old man

  45. J.... M....

    I aspire to move to England and be Mean Mr. Mustard when I get old.

  46. �.... ....

    ジョンのけだるい歌い方がいいね

  47. P.... ....

    Why do all these "remastered" songs sound like they've been put through a "treble only" filter a dozen times?

    P.... ....

    Probably because they are digital and lack the analog warmth, and and perhaps whoever mixed it has no sense of bass.

    P.... ....

    @Kaptain Kid It was a rhetorical question, but that's a good answer. :)

  48. T.... B....

    Lennon himself called this song "a piece of garbage", as well as Good Morning, Good Morning.

    T.... B....

    what do you expect from someone who went onstage in Hamburg with a toilet seat around his neck.

    T.... B....

    Meaning what, that we shouldn't like it? Guess he didn't think it was such garbage when he wrote and recorded it.

  49. R.... B....

    Keeps a ten bob note up his nose (very Lennon)

  50. C.... X....

    The beginning of this song reminds me of those lungs in a big world commercials.

  51. M.... B....

    Billy Bob Thornton's favorite song. Put more mustard on my biscuit. Elvis preferred more mayo on his fried peanut butter & banana sandwich.

  52. J.... T....

    John wrote this song to make fun of Paul's "granny music," his habit of writing about imaginary characters. The funny part is that Paul seems really enthusiastic, singing and playing along, like, "Yeah, this is what I'm talking about, John!"

  53. R.... 9....

    Dad why is my sisters name Michelle?
    Because thats your mothers favorite song.
    Thanks dad.
    No problem, Mean Mr Mustard.

  54. A.... ....

    For the benefit of the younger generation and any others who weren't around in 1969 a ten bob note (0.21) refers to the UK currency ten shillings sterling bank note. It's decimal equivalent is 50p.

  55. D.... D....

    This one song can beat any other song today. Period

  56. S.... 1....

    Classic.

  57. S.... T....

    Mean Mister Mustard sleeps in the park
    Shaves in the dark trying to save paper
    Sleeps in a hole in the road
    Saving up to buy some clothes
    Keeps a ten-bob note up his nose
    Such a mean old man
    Such a mean old man
    His sister Pam works in a shop
    She never stops, she's a go-getter
    Takes him out to look at the queen
    Only place that he's ever been
    Always shouts out something obscene
    Such a dirty old man
    Dirty old man

  58. S.... T....

    "I HAVE AN IDEA MAYBE PAUL TRAVELED THROUGH TIME AND MADE THIS SONG ABOUT DONALD TRUMP!!!"- Today's media.

    S.... T....

    John wrote this

    S.... T....

    @Mike Gardner, I was kidding.

  59. r.... ....

    Wow, it is amazing how John wrote this song based on a small chronicle he read in the Daily Mirror newspaper in 1967, about a scottish man called John Alexander Mustard who was too stingy, to the point that his wife won a dispute in court requesting divorce.
