Lennon/McCartney
Picture yourself in a boat on a river,
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly,
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes.
Cellophane flowers of yellow and green,
Towering over your head.
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes,
And she's gone.
Lucy in the sky with diamonds.
Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain
Where rocking horse people eat marshmellow pies,
Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers,
That grow so incredibly high.
Newspaper taxis appear on the shore,
Waiting to take you away.
Climb in the back with your head in the clouds,
And you're gone.
Lucy in the sky with diamonds,
Picture yourself on a train in a station,
With plasticine porters with looking glass ties,
Suddenly someone is there at the turnstyle,
The girl with the kaleidoscope eyes.

Cough ? * NEW * Has also been suggested that this is Ringo's hi-hat banging together more loudly and sibiliantly than expected, possibly as a result of treading on the pedal too hard to close the cymbal, but there is a distinctly cough-like quality

Guitar breaks through on right channel just before the "Lucy .."

John sings "grows so incredibly high", and a much delayed "igh" is heard. Was this from a previous take?
1:53-1:56
Lead guitar drops out (Right)

Paul sings harmony on the "Lu" syllable in "Lucy"; he was supposed to sing in tandem with John, and corrects himself by the second syllable.

Many people thought this was about drugs, since the letters "LSD" are prominent in the title, and John Lennon, who wrote it, was known to drop acid. Lennon claimed it was inspired by a picture his 4-year-old son Julian drew in school. Julian's picture was of his school friend, Lucy O'Donnell.
The images Lennon used in the song were based on the book Alice In Wonderland.
George Harrison played a tambura on this. It's an Indian instrument similar to a sitar that makes a droning noise. He had been studying with Indian musician Ravi Shankar, who is the father of Norah Jones.
This was banned by the BBC (British Broadcasting Company) for what they thought were drug references.
In 1974, this was a #1 hit for Elton John. Lennon sang and played guitar on his version.
