I have to do a project for art and I have to pick a song to draw four pictures to go along with the lyrics. I really want to do a beatles song but there are so many to choose from! I was thinking about doing I am the walrus because it describes some things that would be really fun to draw like sitting on a cornflake but some of the lyrics are a little inappropriate. does anybody have any good beatles songs that describe things to draw or tell a story?
Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds DEFINITELY.
Picture yourself in a boat on a river,
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies.
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly,
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes.
Cellophane flowers of yellow and green,
Towering over your head.
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes,
And she’s gone.
That would be the coolest art project ever 
I would imagine Yellow Submarine or the Walrus

Well strawberry fields forever or penny lane are good options. Hello Goodbye is also one that wouldn’t be to difficult, or the fool on the hill.

Penny Lane. so many characters would make a great picture book, not too many inappropriate lyrics. i suggest the barber, the banker, the nurse, a shot of when the barber is shaving the banker and the fireman rushes in.

I would say Yellow Submarine.
Paul wrote it as an easy sing-along children’s song.

"Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" was reportedly inspired by a piece of school art by John’s son, Julien. It’s full of colourful imagery.
Or how about "Fool on the Hill"? – a graphic visual image.

HERE COMES THE SUN, for sure.
Each page could be a set of lyrics, and the picture in the backround of each page should be a sun rising.
As each page goes on, make the sun a little higher and higher.
So as a final result, the last page would be the full sun,
I dont know, hahah.
And you dont have to do this, BUT…
You should make it trippy though, since The Beatles music revolved around an open mind while high.
But like a hidden kind of trippy, aha.
