The gender reversal in the last verse was one of the first cool things I noticed about the Beatles. I was…under 10 anyway.

That’s two of them. (Yes! Somerset is a bit of a cheat but it’s still there)

Offline I will update the body parts list soon.
But, the discussion in the “most dated Beatles song” has me wondering about Beatles transportation:
Yellow lorry, slow nowhere to go
Yellow submarine
You can Drive My Car
Trolly to the jeweler’s store
Newspaper taxis appear on the shore
Imagine yourself in a boat on a river
What others are there?

So should it be who wrote the song or who sings the song?Personal choice I would say but generally (and Goodnight is an exception) he who wrote it normally took lead vocal.
I don’t know if anyone wants to do the research, but maybe we could all chime in on other exceptions that we happen to think of. This probably is a better place than the “White…John solo album”.
One After 909 is one, John wrote it but Paul sings the solo verses (I’m pretty sure anyway, my internal Beatles song trivia storage is a bit corrupted).

Offline John and Paul sing lead on the verses of ‘One After 909 ‘, John takes lead on most of the middle eight/bridge (is that the right term?) with Paul providing harmony.
I think Paul wrote most of ‘Every Little Thing ‘ but John took lead. There are others but my brains not working.

Offline I know. I know. I need to compile the body parts list. I will get around to it.
However, I just now made this connection. Name two songs along with their lyrics that have words that are slipping away.
