One of the first lines of this song had originally a lyric “Would you stand up and throw tomatoes at me?”, but Ringo Starr declined to sing this because he feared people would really throw tomatoes at them if they’d ever perform live again. In his Anthology he recalled, “I said, ‘There’s not a chance in hell I am going to sing this line,’ because we still had lots of really deep memories of the kids throwing jelly beans and toys on stage”.
