Paul McCartney's, "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
Admiral Halsey notified me
He had to have a berth or he couldn't get to sea
I had another look, and I had a cup of tea and a butter pie (Butter pie?)
(The butter wouldn't melt so I put it in the pie, alright?)
Hands across the water (Water)
Heads across the sky
Hands across the water (Water)
Heads across the sky
Live a little, be a gypsy, get around (Get around)
Get your feet up off the ground
Live a little, get around
Live a little, be a gypsy, get around (Get around)
Get your feet up off the ground
Live a little, get around
Hands across the water (Water)
Heads across the sky
Hands across the water (Water)
Heads across the sky
He had to have a berth or he couldn't get to sea
I had another look, and I had a cup of tea and a butter pie (Butter pie?)
(The butter wouldn't melt so I put it in the pie, alright?)
Hands across the water (Water)
Heads across the sky
Hands across the water (Water)
Heads across the sky
Live a little, be a gypsy, get around (Get around)
Get your feet up off the ground
Live a little, get around
Live a little, be a gypsy, get around (Get around)
Get your feet up off the ground
Live a little, get around
Hands across the water (Water)
Heads across the sky
Hands across the water (Water)
Heads across the sky
Why They're Nonsensical:
Paul McCartney gets a pass for nonsensical lyrics because he's well, Paul McCartney. But what does "hands across the water" have to do with a little gypsy get around? I think he just mashed together some rhyming words that fit the melody and couldn't care less about their meaning. This song doesn't tell a story in any sense of what a story is. I'd feel foolish if I went to a show and everyone was singing along to this nonsense!

Paul McCartney's, "Wonderful Christmastime"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
The word is out, about the town
So lift your glass, and don't look down
So lift your glass, and don't look down
Why They're Nonsensical:
This song is about having fun at a Christmas party. So why is he telling us not to look down? Are we up on the roof, perhaps?
