Did I hear this correctly?
"Fixing a hole in the ocean
Trying to make a dovetail joint"
John Lennon, you get down with your carpenter self!

I always smile when I hear that lyric.
You heard right.
"A hen is only an egg's way of making another egg".
– Samuel Butler
Actually, it should make us cringe.
A hole in the ocean would be better fixed with some marine-grade epoxy or at the very most a dovetail INLAY.
The lyric might should have been
"Fitting the corners of the ocean.
Trying to make a dovetail joint
The last 50 were poorly done."
Well, I've always interpreted this as a list of honey-dos. The ocean-caulking is just one item on the list.
Seriously, what makes me smile is the *trying* part of the line. He (John) gets it. Making a dovetail joint is on par with trying to shovel back the ocean.
The Beatles effectively changed music, governments and the world, why not cabinetmaking?
Prophetic, this thread was...
When JL sings "Here's another clue for you all, the Walrus was Paul".

"Lady Madonna trying to make ends meet". Is this a reference to a poorly constructed scarf joint?
