The Beatles

The most common interpretation of the song's meaning is that each verse represents a

different Beatle. So the

first is

George Harrison

the holy roller

then Ringo Starr who enjoyed drinking coca-cola a lot apparently

you shoot coca-cola

Then John Lennon

who was seeing Yoko Ono at the time, hence the Ono side board

and

Paul McCartney

particularly the line got to be good lookin cause he's so hard to see is reference to

"Paul is dead"

And as a side note, if you look at the Abbey Road cover

there is a reference as well to "Paul is dead"

John Lennon is God, leading the way

Ringo would be the

priest

Then Paul McCartney is the corpse -- you can see that he's not wearing any

shoes

George Harrison is then the grave digger

So that was just a little

side note there

And in the end of the song, they all come together

However, I think that an alternate explanation here would be that

Each verse represents all four Beatles

Plus their producer

George Martin who

was referred to as one of the candidates for the fifth Beatle

particularly for his work with this album

I think that the flat top that's groovin up slowly could be a

reference to George Martin and then you've got "holy roller," George Harrison

then jJohn Lennon, and then "got to be a joker he just do what he

please" could be Ringo Starr

If you really notice

each verse has five different "he"s

"He" is repeated exactly five times

I'm not sure

who's who in every verse

But

the walrus I believe could be referring to Paul McCartney

you know Ono sideboard would be John Lennon

I don't know about

the next ones

One and one and one is three could be a reference to the "Paul is dead"

Got be good-lookin cause he's so hard to see

So

I think that

personally

I tend to lean toward the first interpretation

But I do believe that the second is another possible interpretation

and

really the who was who for each verse is also debated

but I feel that

like i said

there's almost

a lot of difficulty to tell who is who in each line in the second interpretation

and I do think

the idea is that these are a lot of inside jokes within the band
