[Verse 1]
I told you about Strawberry Fields
Well, here's a place you know just as real
It’s just another place you can go
Everythin' glows
Lookin' through the bent backed tulips
To see how the other half lives
Lookin’ through a glass onion

[Verse 2]
I told you about Strawberry Fields
Well, here's a place you know just as real
It's just another place you can go
Everythin' glows
Lookin' through the bent backed tulips
To see how the other half lives
Looking through a glass onion

[Verse 3]
I told you about Strawberry Fields
Well, here's a place you know just as real, ooh
It's just another place you can go
Where everythin' glows (Help!)
Bent backed tulips
How the other half lives
Looking through a glass onion
