Paul McCartney performed a never-before-heard song, composed of the supposed original lyrics to The Beatles' single "Yesterday" — a song originally entitled "Scrambled Eggs" — last night on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.

While composing the song in 1965, McCartney said he woke from a dream and wanted to remember the timing of the lyrics so he jotted down "scrambled eggs, oh my baby how I love your legs" rather than "yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away."

The duet between McCartney and Fallon replaced additional lyrics with humorous ones like "waffle fries, oh my darling how I love your thighs" before proceeding to talk about their admiration for tofu wings and onion rings.

Follow along the below video with complete lyrics:
Scrambled Eggs,
Oh my baby how I love your legs,
But not as much as I love scrambled eggs.
Oh we should eat some scrambled eggs.

Waffle fries,
Oh my darling how I love your thighs,
But not as much as I love waffle fries.
Oh have you tried the waffle fries?

They are so damn good that they should be illegal
They're like regular fries, but they're shaped like a waffle.

Chicken wings - no, no chicken wings, vegetarian - tofu wings
Oh my baby when I hear you sing,
All I think about is tofu wings.
Oh did you bring the tofu wings?

There's a place I know where I go for kick-ass wings
We could even get a side of onion rings.

Scrambled eggs,
Oh my baby how I love your legs,
But not as much as I love scrambled eggs.
Oh let's go get some scrambled eggs.


"Scrambled Eggs"
