Oh, and Patti, the initials in "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" was not a reference to LSD. It was based on a picture John Lennon's son Julian made in school. I'm sure, though, that Lennon took delight in the happy coincidence.
Ok, some quick debunks: Paul McCartney's "GTGYIML" may have been about Mary Jane, but "Here There and Everywhere" was about another Jane-- Jane Asher, his then-girlfriend. "I Want Candy" was a cover of a song released in the early Sixties (by the Strangeloves). It is most likely what it says it is about-- candy. "The Candy Man" was written for the children's movie "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory". Indeed it is a psychedelic-influenced film, but the song itself is not a drug reference. Finally, its Little JACKIE Paper, not Johnny.
