Cover art for 3 Legs lyrics by Paul McCartney

The Real Paul was dead and his replacement, Faul, is prodding John saying my dog has got three legs, but he can't run. He has depreciated the three living Beatles comparing them to the proverbial fly and saying without the real Paul they cannot fly. "Most flies they got three legs, but mine got one." Faul is standing on his own whereas the three other are Beatle dogs! Lennon was condemned to keep Faul a secret. "You can knock me down with a feather, yes you could But you know it's not allowed (but you know it's not allowed)".
