Baby, You're A Rich Man
The Beatles · Yellow Submarine (1999 Reissue) [1999]
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 you're a rich man
Baby you're a rich man
Baby you're a rich man, too
Baby, You're A Rich Man
Written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, "Baby, You're A Rich Man" stands as a defining track from The Beatles' late 1967 period. Originally released as the B-side to "All You Need Is Love," the song was later included on the Magical Mystery Tour EP and the Yellow Submarine soundtrack. The recording features a distinctive, driving rhythm and a prominent guitar solo by George Harrison, reflecting the band's experimental approach during the psychedelic era. The lyrics explore themes of materialism and spiritual awakening, capturing the group's evolving artistic sensibilities. As part of their extensive discography, the track remains a celebrated example of the band's ability to blend pop accessibility with deeper lyrical content, securing its place in their enduring musical legacy.
