The Beatles To-do: You can HELP!:

Isn't paragraph two somewhat of an urban legend? The group had pretty much written off live performances by then, and I doubt Ringo was thinking ahead years into the future to when he might perform the song on one of his solo tours. The earliest, and simplest, explanation I have heard for the lyric change is that Ringo simply thought the line "silly" and wanted it changed. Occam's Razor.

Watch the video about the making of Sgt. Pepper, and Ringo states his distaste for the line. You can watch the video here: [1]

Is it bad form to mention that the song is probably about masturbation? the iceman 04:44, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rewrote the origins slightly

I've changed the introduction to the Origins as it seemed to start off after the song had been written. I've added a link to Hunter Davies's biography as that describes the song's composition in some detail. I've also added the date the song was recorded - taken from Mark Lewisohn's complete recording sessions - but I don't yet know how to add citations!
