The "meaningless" lyrics by Beatles

Hey people, have you listen to the "I am the Walrus" by Beatles. If not, you better do and kindly pay attention to its lyrics.
John Lennon, who wrote this song, stated that he threw together nonsense lyrics to mess with the heads of scholars trying to dissect "The Beatles" songs. In fact, Lennon got the idea for the oblique lyrics when he received a letter from a student who explained that his English teacher was having the class analyze Beatles songs. Lennon answered the letter; his reply was sold as memorabilia at a 1992 auction.
Here's the song.
