Lennon/McCartney in The Beatles' early years. It was a humorous parody of theInk Spots . It consists ofPaul McCartney singing in a deep baritone, offset with shrill falsetto harmony, and guitar strumming. The lead vocal sings, in rather confused lyrics, about his determination of making a woman his; while the falsettos wail the last word of each sentence. About halfway through the song, John Lennon gives a mock-bass voice spoken interlude about how, when the woman brought him toast one morning, he looked into her eyes and saw a "National Health Eyeball". He then fell in love with her. The song rises to a crescendo of wailing and bellowing, then fades out in laughter.Stuart Sutcliffe , one of the original Beatles, plays bass on the recording.To add to the confusion, the song is very difficult to understand; clicks, buzzes, fuzz, giggling, and the baritone voice obscure the lyrics.
