Notes

Lead vocals - Welnick.

A John Lennon song.

Recorded by the Beatles on 6th April 1966.

The working title was Mark 1. The actual title is said to come from a phrase Ringo Starr often used. Lennon said in a 1980 interview, "That's me in my Tibetan Book of the Dead period. I took one of Ringo's malapropisms as the title, to sort of take the edge off the heavy philosphical lyrics."

Other Beatles songs named after Ringo-isms include Hard Days Night and Eight Days a Week.
