Baby You're A Rich Man

This song is about how everybody can have the things that matter, and it has nothing to do with material possessions. The Beatles were rich, but they claimed that money was not that important to them.

John Lennon and Paul McCartney wrote parts of this separately and combined it to make one song - something they would repeat on "A Day In The Life." At one point, the song was called "One Of The Beautiful People."

The trumpet-like sound at the beginning is a clavioline, an amplified keyboard that acted as a crude synthesizer. Other songs that used a clavoline include "Telstar" by The Tornados and "Runaway" by Del Shannon.
