Baby, You're A Rich Man
(Lennon/McCartney)

How does it feel to be
one of the beautiful people? (broken and oh, so dead inside)
Now that you know who you are (you say you don't know but that's all what you talk about!)
What do you want to be?
And have you travelled very far? (you've been through more than an average person your age, haven't you?)
Far as the eye can see.

How does it feel to be
One of the beautiful people?
How often have you been there? (God, aren't you tired?)
Often enough to know.
What did you see when you were there? (you could act wiser if only you accepted you are)
Nothing that doesn't show (but they're too blind to see)

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? (are you?)
Now that you've found another key
What are you going to play? (we're just tired of the useless metaphores)

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!,
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!
