Day Tripper

It was written under pressure when The Beatles needed a new single for the Christmas market. John wrote most of the lyric and basic guitar break. coming up with a riff that he derived from 'I Feel Fine'. Paul helped with the verses and his bass riff, something like Roy Orbison's 'Oh Pretty Woman'. This song is typically John's, in the summer of 1965, who wanted to reflect the influence of the growing drug culture. It was written as a double sided single with 'We Can Work It Out'
'Day Tripper' The beautiful guitar twangs of George Harrison made this song special who was also on LSD trips then.

Lyrics of Day Tripper
Got a good reason, for taking the easy way out
Got a good reason, for taking the easy way out, now

She was a day..... tripper, one way ticket, yeah!
It took me so..... long to find out, and I found out

She's a big teaser, she took me half the way there
She's a big teaser, she took me half the way there, now

She was a day.... tripper, one way ticket, yeah!
It took me so.... long to find out, and I found out

Tried to please her, she only played one night stands
Tried to please her, she only played one night stands, now

She was a day.... tripper, Sunday driver, yeah!
It took me so.... long to find out, and I found out

Day tripper
Day tripper, yeah!

Day tripper
Day tripper, yeah!
