Reissues and Live Performance
Lennon and Ono performed the song with the band Elephant's Memory on The Dick Cavett Show in May 1972. Because of the controversial title, ABC asked Dick Cavett to apologise to the audience in advance for the song's content, otherwise the performance would not have been shown. In 2005, the interview and performance were released on DVD as part of The Dick Cavett Show: John & Yoko Collection.
An edited version of the song was included on the 1975 compilation album Shaved Fish. It was also included on Working Class Hero: The Definitive Lennon and the Gimme Some Truth box set.

“Thy love is such I can no way repay,
The heavens reward thee manifold I pray.
