Baby, You're a Rich Man創作
歌曲由兩個片段組合而成，分別是John Lennon的《One of the Beautiful People》的一段詩和Paul McCartney此前無伴奏的合唱《Baby, You're a Rich Man》，兩首歌的組合類似於《A Day in the Life》和《I've Got a Feeling》。

Walter Everett認為此歌暗指Brian Epstein是那個"beautiful people"之一。
Baby, You're a Rich Man錄製
歌曲於1967年5月11日在Olympic Sound錄音室錄製成誕聖誕版本。歌曲運用了一種特別的雙簧管式的聲音，這歸功於分別叫claviline（一種3 octave單音鍵盤的合成器的前身）和spin-echo。

Baby, You're a Rich Man歌詞
How does it feel to be
One of the beautiful people?
Now that you know who you are
What do you want to be?
And have you traveled very far?
Far as the eye can see.
How does it feel to be
One of the beautiful people?
How often have you been there?
Often enough to know.
What did you see, when you were there?
Nothing that doesn't show.
Baby you're a rich man,
Baby you're a rich man,
Baby you're a rich man too.
You keep all your money in a big brown bag inside a zoo.
What a thing to do.
Baby you're a rich man,
Baby you're a rich man,
Baby you're a rich man too.
How does it feel to be
One of the beautiful people?
Tuned to A natural E
Happy to be that way.
Now that you've found another key
What are you going to play?
Baby you're a rich man,
Baby you're a rich man,
Baby you're a rich man too.
You keep all your money in a big brown bag inside a zoo.
What a thing to do.
