while we all know this song was originally called "Scrambled Eggs", I'm not sure how far Paul got with this first version of the song.
The story goes that Paul came up with the tune without any lyrics, and in order to keep the tune in his head kept singing "Scrambled eggs, oh you've got such lovely legs". But did he actually write out the whole song or just this one line?
Here are the scrambled eggs lyrics. Whether or not these are the original lyrics written by paul or whether someone else made them up later, I do not know. They fit very well.. Almost too well to be confident that Paul actually wrote them before he changed the lyrics and song to Yesterday. It seems almost more likely they were made up afterwards by someone else who had heard the original title.
Scrambled eggs
Have an omelet with some muenster cheese.
Put your dishes in the washbin please
so I can clean the scrambled eggs.
Join me, do
There are lots of eggs for me and you
I've got ham and cheese and bacon too
so go get two and join me, do.
Fried or sunny-side
just aren't right. The mix-bowl begs.
Quick - go get a pan
and we'll scram-ble up some eggs, eggs, eggs, eggs.
Scrambled eggs
Good for breakfast, dinnertime or brunch
Don't buy six or twleve - buy a bunch
and we'll have lunch
on scrambled eggs.
