For the right price, some lucky Beatlemaniac will be able to own the lyrics to the final song on the Beatles album “Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.” John Lennon's handwritten lyrics to the Beatles classic “A Day in the Life” are being auctioned in June, Sotheby's announced Thursday. The double-sided sheet of paper features Lennon's edits and corrections in his own hand - in black felt marker and blue ball point pen, with a few annotations in red ink. It is expected to fetch between $500,000 and $700,000 when it is sold in New York on June 18. Rolling Stone magazine listed “A Day in the Life” at No. 26 in its compilation of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time and “Sgt. Pepper” won four Grammy awards in 1968. The lyrics stirred controversy when the Beatles released the album in 1967.
