In the end, Kenny Lynch had a minor hit with the song.

Misery
(Paul McCartney/John Lennon)
The world
is treating me bad... misery
I'm the
kind of guy
Who never used to cry
The world is treatin' me bad... misery!
I've lost
her now for sure
I won't see her no more
It's gonna be a drag... misery!
I'll remember
all the little things we've done
Can't she see she'll always be the only one, only one
Send her
back to me
'cause everyone can see
Without her I will be in misery
I'll remember
all the little things we've done
She'll remember and she'll miss her only one, lonely one
Send her
back to me
'cause everyone can see
Without her I will be in misery (oh oh oh)
In misery (ooh ee ooh ooh)
My misery (la la la la la la)
