I wonder if this is a "lost" song or one that has circulated on bootlegs for decades.

There are "lost" songs by the Beatles that could be hits if moldy oldies radio would play album tracks.

"Not Guilty" ... by George Harrison, 1968 during the White Album sessions. Although I wouldn't particularly term it as a *hit*, its got some interesting twists and turns in the same jazzy mode as "Savoy Truffle", which did make it onto the album (and which completely rocks out, IMO :)

Actually I am in sole possession of Paul McCartney’s long lost original lyrics to “Yesterday”*. As you Beatlemaniacs out there know, “Yesterday” was originally written as an instrumental titled “Scrambled Eggs”. And now, for your pleasure, I present the original lyrics to “Scrambled Eggs” i.e. “Yesterday”.

Scrambled Eggs
You’re not half the yolk you used to be
There’s an omelet hanging over me
Oh I believe in Scrambled Eggs

Sunny-side
Coddled, poached or even lightly fried
All have runny yellow yolks inside
Oh I believe in Scrambled Eggs

Why it had to burn
I don’t know I just can say
Turned the flame too high
Now I yearn for Scrambled E-e-e-eggs

Scrambled Eggs
You’re not half the yolk you used to be
There’ll be no more French toast for me
‘Cause I believe in Scrambled Eggs

Yum, Yum, Yum, Yum,
Scrambled Eggs.

Please send me money, preferably in cash, so I can finance a recording of this lost classic. I’m currently in negotiations with the Red Hot Chili Peppers and the soon to be reunited N’Sync. Or perhaps a digitally reconstructed Jim Morrison could record it.

* OK I actually wrote these lyrics years ago as a lark. You can still send me money however - :)
