El 26 de septiembre de 1969, Apple Records lanzó Abbey Road, el último álbum y posiblemente el más popular de los grabados por los Beatles además de por su calidad musical, sobretodo por su portada con el más famoso paso de cebra del mundo.
El LP se abría con la canción Come Together, una composición de Lennon-McCartney, escrita en realidad en su totalidad por John
“Come together” contenía una frase que decía:
... Here come old flattop he come grooving up slowly
Sospechosamente parecida a la canción de Chuck Berry “You Can't Catch Me”
"Here come old flat top, he was grooving up with me
John aunque siempre admitió estar influenciado por Berry, mientras que escribía la canción también negó que había plagiado la canción.
El caso es que le pillaron y Morris Levy, presidente de Roulette Records y dueño de Big Seven Music Corp. (editores de You Can't Catch Me),
presentó una demanda contra John por infracción de derechos de autor.
Como la mayoría de las acciones legales, el caso tardó años en llegar a juicio y muchos meses para resolverse.

I bought a brand new airmobile ... It was custom made
It was a Flight DeVille .... With an outboard motor
And some hideaway wings ... Push in on the button and you can hear her sing
Now you can't catch me ... No, baby, you can't catch me
'Cause if you get too close ... You know I'm gone like a cool breeze
New Jersey Turnpike in the wee wee hours ... I was rolling slowly 'cause of drizzlin' showers
Up come a flattop he was movin' up with me ...
Then come sailin' goodbye ... In a little old suped up mini ...
I put my foot in my tank and I begin to roll ... Moanin' sirens, was the state patrol ...
So I get out my wings and then I blew my horn ... Bye-bye New Jersey I become airborne
Now you can't catch me ... No, baby you can't catch me
'Cause if you get too close ... You know I'm gone like a cool breeze
Flyin' with my baby last Saturday night ... Wasn't no gray cloud floatin' in sight
Big full moon shinin' up above ... Cuddle up honey be my love
Sweetest little thing that I ever seen ... I'm gonna name you Mabelline
Findin' all the beams set on flight control ... Radio tuned to rock 'n' roll
Two, three hours passin' by ... Altitude dropped to 505
Fuel consumption way too fast ... Let's get on home before we run out of gas
Now you can't catch me ... No baby, you can't catch me
'Cause if you get too close ... You know I'm gone like a cool breeze
It was a Flight DeVille .... With an outboard motor
And some hideaway wings ... Push in on the button and you can hear her sing
Now you can't catch me ... No, baby, you can't catch me
'Cause if you get too close ... You know I'm gone like a cool breeze
New Jersey Turnpike in the wee wee hours ... I was rolling slowly 'cause of drizzlin' showers
Up come a flattop he was movin' up with me ...
Then come sailin' goodbye ... In a little old suped up mini ...
I put my foot in my tank and I begin to roll ... Moanin' sirens, was the state patrol ...
So I get out my wings and then I blew my horn ... Bye-bye New Jersey I become airborne
Now you can't catch me ... No, baby you can't catch me
