George is singing the falsetto part. paul is singing lead and John does the spoken part.

Sounds to me like he says “When you spread that Imperial Margarine and Orange Marmalade on my toast
with the post the other morning…”
Amazing how people can really get hung-up over the slightest, ambiguous little thing.

No. That is very much John. But if the Lead is Paul, who is doing the falsetto?

I think the spoken passage is funny, it always sounded “when you brought me the post the other morning”, haha.

I think that’s Stuart speaking the middle section.

Or rather “when YOU brought ME that toast” ?

Despite the atrocious recording, this is a remarkably musical parody, and a very good piece of vocals. I had to sit through several Inkspots (aka Stinkpots) records when I was young, and this captures the essence of them really well.

I wonder when The Quarrymen actually performed this…

Incidentally, I’m SURE it’s “when I brought you that toast”…

Well, when I listened to it closely it sounds very much like “when you broke that toast” not burnt or brought..

It’s tricky to tell. It sounds like he’s saying ‘brurnt’ – somewhere between the two.

I don’t think there’s a ‘me’ in there though: on the bootleg version I have, which is at a slightly lower pitch and slower tempo than the Anthology version, there’s some tape distortion before the word ‘that’ (it temporarily cuts out). I presume they cleaned it up while preparing Anthology for release, smoothing over the distortion but leaving a bit more confusion too.

To me it sounds like “brought that toast” or “brought me that toast” not burnt. That’s what lyrics websites and Wikipedia seem to think as well.

“It takes musical mastership to make your audience laugh deliberately”
Hm, wonder who said that?

Me!
(Just did…)

Any way, this little diddle shows the grrreat crossmusicology (wordplay) of the Beatles, even at the age of four… – Or what was it again, at the time??
