  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.

  REFRAIN
  Lucy in the sky with diamonds
  Lucy in the sky with diamonds
  Lucy in the sky with diamonds
  Ah... Ah...


  Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain
  Where rocking horse people eat marshmallow 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.

  {REFRAIN}

  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 kaleidoscope eyes.

  {REFRAIN}...
