JOHN 1968: 'In 'Baby You're a Rich Man' the point was, stop moaning.
You're a rich man and we're all rich men, heh, heh, baby!'

JOHN 1980: 'That's a combination of two seperate pieces, Paul's and mine, put together and forced into one song.
One-half was all mine.
(sings) 'How does it feel to be one of the beautiful people/ Now that you know who you are…'
Then Paul comes in with, (sings) 'Baby you're a rich man,' which was a lick he had around.'

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