Lennon was particularly pleased with the lyric of this song, which he says was inspired rather than constructed. A closer look reveals that while the initial lyric idea may have been inspired, the remainder of the song was a product of his prodigious ability to construct. This four part series goes into the evolution of the song in unforgivable detail.
