Foi o primeiro single do grupo no Reino Unido que não tinha o tema de amor, um recorde compartilhado com "Nowhere Man" que foi a primeira canção de album com essa característica nos EUA
Possivelmente inspirado por uma tia de Paul McCartney que pediu uma música sobre outros temas além de relacionamentos boy-girl ou por ter visto Ringo Starr lendo um livro
As letras são estruturadas como uma carta de um autor aspirante a um editor que precisei de emprego e tenha escrito uma versão de bolso de livro de um "homem chamado Lear"
Faz referencia ao pintor vitoriano Edward Lear que escrevia poemas nonsense e músicas de que John Lennon gostava muito apesar de Lear nunca ter escrito romances
McCartney tentou escrever uma melodia baseada em um único acorde estático e conseguiu manter a estância em Ré até o final quando pausa em Dó
Os vocais de apoio nesta seção final são da música infantil francesa "Frère Jacques"
