“One And One Is Two” is a song written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney. Originally written for Billy J. Kramer, the song was instead given to The Strangers with Mike Shannon, who released it as a single. It failed to reach the charts in both the UK and the US, [1] and the song was later disparaged by its authors.
