A JOHN LENNON drunken singalong session, taped in 1973, has been bought for $30,000 at an auction in Los Angeles.

Lasting just six minutes, the cassette features an out-of-it Lennon mumbling a version of Lloyd Price’s Just Because, with the addition of some fruity lyrics of his own.

“I wanna take all them new singers, Carol and the other one with the nipples, I wanna take ’em and hold ’em tight,” sings the ex-Beatle at one point, according to auctioneers Bonhams and Butterfields.

Never revealed to the general public, the recording was made during Lennon’s infamous ‘Lost Weekend’ when he took a break from Yoko Ono for over a year.
