The word in the middle of the song says 'cookie', not 'cocaine', I think, which I took to mean a joke, 'cookie' being what Cookie Monster from Sesame Street said. That show was on the air at that time, and John Lennon may have seen it in America.

But can anyone explain what it means? Just a joke? (Seems most likely). Some obscure meaning/inside joke? Did anyone ever ask Lennon why he put that in there? -RedShiftPA (talk) 05:21, 26 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Was Lennon farmiliar with Sesame Street? It was an American show that was in its infancy when this song was recorded, and Lennon was semi-estranged from his son Julian at this time. Then again, he was frequently in the US for primal therapy, so maybe he first saw it there. 98.221.133.96 (talk) 05:28, 3 July 2008 (UTC)Reply
