Abbey Road track listing

Written by John Lennon, and credited to Lennon–McCartney, it is the third song of the album's B-side medley. The song was recorded with "Sun King" in one continuous piece.

 

I'd read somewhere in the paper about this mean guy who was hiding five-pound notes, not up his nose but somewhere else, and so I wrote about him. And no, it has nothing to do with snorting cocaine. ... A bit of crap that I wrote in India.

—John Lennon, Playboy Interview, , 1980
