What's the New Mary Jane?
Writers: Lennon, McCartney; lead vocal: Lennon
She looks as an African Queen
She eating twelve chapattis and cream
She tastes as Mongolian lamb
She coming from Aldebaran
(In all the lyrics I've found on the web, they say "She coming from out of Behran", but if you listen close, they say Aldebaran. Now The Stones also speak of Aldebaran on 'Her Satanic Majesties Request' in the song, "2000 Light Years From Home"
Now interestingly enough, Aldebaran means "Follower". Here's a little bit about it...
"ALDEBARAN (Alpha Tauri). Aldebaran is by far the brightest, and therefore the Alpha, star of the constellation Taurus. The ancient name, from Arabic, means "the Follower," as the star seems to follow the Pleiades, or Seven Sisters star cluster, across the sky. Aldebaran, 60 light years away, is positioned in front of the sprawling Hyades star cluster (in mythology, half-sisters to the Pleiades) that make the face of Taurus the Bull, but is not a part of it, the cluster over twice as far away. In most renderings of the constellation, Aldebaran makes the celestial Bull's eye. As part of a constellation of the zodiac, Aldebaran is close to the Sun's path, the Sun passing to the north of it about June 1, the star also regularly covered, or occulted, by the Moon.")
Anyway, back to the song...
What a shame Mary Jane had a pain at the party
What a shame Mary Jane what a shame Mary Jane had a pain at the party
She like to be married with Yeti
He grooving such cooking spaghetti
She jumping as Mexican bean
To make that her body morphine
What a shame Mary Jane had a pain at the party
What a shame Mary Jane what a shame Mary Jane had a pain at the party
She catch Patagonian pancake
With that one and gin party makes
She having always good contact
She making with Apple and contract
(That's a weird line to me)
What a shame Mary Jane had a pain at the party
What a shame Mary Jane what a shame Mary Jane had a pain at the party
All together now
What a shame Mary Jane had a pain at the party
What a shame what what a shame Mary Jane had a pain at the party
What a shame what a shame what a shame what a shame
Mary Jane had a pain at the party
What a shame what a shame what a shame what a shame
Mary Jane had a pain at the party
What a shame what a shame Mary Jane had a pain at the party
What a shame what a shame what a shame
Mary Jane had a pain at the party
What a shame Mary Jane Mary Jane had a pain at the party
What a shame Mary Jane what a shame Mary Jane had a pain at the party
What a shame Mary Jane what a shame
She looks as an African Queen
She tastes as Mongolian lamb
What a shame Mary Jane what a shame Mary Jane had a pain at the party
All together now
What a shame Mary Jane had a pain at the party
What a shame what what a shame Mary Jane had a pain at the party
What a shame what a shame what a shame what a shame
[That's it.
Before we got taking no what] (cut down)
Not to mention I have a Syd Barrett bootleg I got from the '80's with this song on it labeled as "What a Shame Mary Jane". It says Syd Barrett (with The Beatles). Now this is a highly debatable topic, and I'm not sure what the truth is, all I'm saying is I got this l.p....

Bell flight fourteen you now can land
Seen you on Aldebaran, safe on the green desert sand
It's so very lonely, you're two thousand light years from home
It's so very lonely, you're two thousand light years from home
Seen you on Aldebaran, safe on the green desert sand
It's so very lonely, you're two thousand light years from home
It's so very lonely, you're two thousand light years from home
