Lyrics

[Intro: John Lennon] Uh... Mildred, Mildred? [?] [Verse: Yoko Ono, John Lennon] Mildred, Mildred, how I love you so Remember the joke you told me While we had our midnight tea That was the funniest joke I ever heard in my life I didn't tell you then, 'cause I was drinking the tea Alfred, now Alfred, (Aye!) you used to call me so And told me how it would be nice to open a plant shop That was the most sensible idea we had in our life I didn't tell you then, 'cause I was reading the papers Mildred, oh, Mildred, how I love you so Remember how you were angry when I talked to the box You kept trying to tell me something, something 'bout our life But I didn't hear you then, 'cause I was watching the box [Outro: Yoko Ono, John Lennon] I bought a pot of plant now And I'm watering it ev'ry day I watched the late night talk show And asked the man in a suit Why he was laughing so when my wife was dead He didn't reply No, he didn't reply at all And I burnt the box next morning And buried in our garden... Mildred (Mildred), oh, Mildred (Mildred), how I miss you so (How I miss you so) How I wish to tell you a lot of things about our life (How I wish to tell you a lot of things about our life) But of course you aren't around, you aren't around no more (But of course you aren't around, you aren't around no more) And I hear the box still laughing in the next door apartment (And I hear the box still laughing, ha ha ha ha [...] apartment.) Mmm... Mmm... Mildred...
