Guitar World April 10, 2012 Song Facts: The Beatles — "I Am The Walrus" No song in The Beatles' catalog features as many literary and social references in its lyrics as "I Am the Walrus."In writing it, John Lennon drew inspiration from Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland (the walrus), a playground nursery rhyme that he and his pals sang as children (the line beginning with "yellow matter custard") and the traditional song "Marching to Pretoria" (whose lyric "I'm with you and you're with me and we are all together" Lennon mimics in the opening lines). www.guitarworld.com/song-facts-beatles-i-am-walrus

Lennon meant to sing "I am the carpenter" . Well that's what he should have sung, he got the characters mixed up!
