'A Spaniard in the Works' is a book from 1965 by John Lennon. The book consists of nonsensical stories and drawings similar to the style of his previous book, 1964's In His Own Write.

The name refers to a pun on the term "A spanner in the works" (analogous to the American English expression, "throw a monkey wrench" [into someone's plans], a spanner being British English for wrench), another fragment of Lennon's humour.

The Swedish publishing house Bakhåll published in 1997 the book in an English & Swedish edition, together with a CD containing tracks with never before released Lennon pieces and interviews.



1997 CD tracks:

#"My Life" (Lennon) 2:30

#"John Meets Yoko - Teacher/Pupil" (Lennon) 1:44

#"Dear John" (Lennon) 4:10

#"Cosmic Joke Number 9 / The Future Is Ours To See" (Lennon) 1:30

#"Lord, Take This Makeup Off Me" (Lennon) 2:18

#"Do It Yourself" (unknown) 1:13

#"Make Love Not War" (Lennon) 3:13

#"Groupies" (Lennon) 1:45

#"Here We Go Again" (Lennon/Spector) 2:57

#"What Does It Mean When You're Such A Pacifist That You Get Shot?" (Lennon) 0:57

#"His Spirit Is Still Around" (Yoko Ono) 0:46
