Lennon and McCartney deliberately wrote a tune with a limited rangeexcept for the last note, which McCartney worked closely with Starr to achieve. Speaking in the "Anthology", Starr explained that he insisted on changing the first linewhich originally was "What would you think if I sang out of tune? Would you throw ripe tomatoes at me?"so that fans would not throw tomatoes at him should he perform it live. (In the early days, after George Harrison made a passing comment that he liked jelly babies, the group was showered with them at all of their live performances.)
