The lyrics of the song is largely in the form of a conversation between Starr and the other three Beatles, in which they ask a question and Starr answers every time. [6]  So the three Beatles by John Lennon sing the written rule[5]  "What do you see when you turn out the light?", to which Starr responds with "I can't tell you, but I know it's mine".

At the request of Starr were the opening number, which first ushered in policies "What would you do if I sang out of tune? Would you stand up and throw tomatoes at me?", changed to"What would you think if I sang out of tune? Would you stand up and walk out on me?". Starr was afraid he would be pelted with each concert with different tomatoes. Something like that was happened when George Harrison himself during an interview had let slip that The Beatles of jelly beans. [3] ==Recordings<span class="mw-editsection" len="348" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;padding-right:0.25em;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;">[Edit] == <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.399999618530273px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">On 29 March 1967 The Beatles started in the Abbey Road Studios in London to the recordings of With a Little Help from My Friends.
