Baby You're A Rich Man

By John T. Marck

Baby You're A Rich Man was written in much the same way as was A Day In The Life. A combined effort of both John and Paul, it was taken from two unfinished songs put together. Lennon's unfinished song was called "One Of The Beautiful People," where he was speaking of the hippie generation, with their long hair, and free love. Paul's contribution was taken from a chorus he had written about a rich man, reported to be about their manager Brian Epstein. John would joke with Epstein, and in one case insulted him, but the point to him was to stop complaining, because they had made him rich, he was rich, and they all were rich.

How does it feel to be, One of the beautiful people

Now that you know who you are, What do you want to be

And have you traveled very far, Far as the eye can see

How does it feel to be, One of the beautiful people

How often have you been there, Often enough to know

What did you see when you were there, Nothing that doesn't show

Baby you're a rich man, Baby you're a rich man,

Baby you're a rich man, too

You keep all your money in a big brown bag, inside a zoo, what a thing to do

Baby you're a rich man, Baby you're a rich man,

Baby you're a rich man, too

How does it feel to be, One of the beautiful people

Tuned to a natural E, happy to be that way,

Now that you've found another key, What are you going to play

Baby you're a rich man, Baby you're a rich man,

Baby you're a rich man, too

You keep all your money in a big brown bag, inside a zoo, what a thing to do

(Baby) Baby you're a rich man, Baby you're a rich man,

Baby you're a rich man, too Baby you're a rich man,

Baby you're a rich man, Baby you're a rich man too
