John Lennon: Just like to say, hello! Wonderful to be here.

Zappa: Hey! Sit down and cool it for a minute so you can hear what we're gonna do! And for, and for those of you in the band who have no idea what's about to happen, this is in A minor, and it's not standard blues changes. But it's close!
John Lennon: Yeah, this is a song I used to sing when I was in The Cavern in Liverpool, I haven't done it since so . . . Two, three, four .
