Baby You're A Rich Man
Journey to Wealth and Self-Discovery in 'Baby You're A Rich Man'
Lyrics
How does it feel to be
Questioning the experience of being part of the elite or privileged group
One of the beautiful people
Referring to the socially esteemed or affluent individuals
Now that you know who you are
Reflecting on self-awareness and understanding one's identity
What do you want to be
Pondering future aspirations and life goals
And have you traveled very far?
Asking about the extent of one's life experiences and journeys
Far as the eye can see
Describing vast travels or experiences extending to the horizon
How does it feel to be
Repeating the inquiry about the feelings of being part of the privileged group
One of the beautiful people
Reiterating the concept of being among the socially esteemed or affluent
How often have you been there
Asking about the frequency of being in that privileged state
Often enough to know
Implying familiarity with the privileged lifestyle
What did you see when you were there
Questioning the observations or experiences during these privileged moments
Nothing that doesn't show
Asserting that everything observed is evident or apparent
Baby you're a rich man
Addressing the listener as a rich and privileged individual
Baby you're a rich man
-Baby you're a rich man, too
-You keep all your money in a big brown bag inside a zoo
Describing an unusual act of keeping money in a bag inside a zoo
What a thing to do
Expressing surprise or disbelief at the unconventional behavior
Baby you're a rich man
Reiterating the identification of the listener as a rich person
Baby you're a rich man
-Baby you're a rich man, too
-How does it feel to be
Repeating the inquiry about the emotions of being among the privileged
One of the beautiful people
Continuing the theme of being part of the beautiful or privileged group
Tuned to a natural E
Referring to being tuned to a natural E, possibly a metaphor for a harmonious existence
Happy to be that way
Expressing contentment with one's current state
Now that you've found another key
Noting a shift or change in perspective represented by finding another key
What are you going to play
Prompting a question about the creative expression or choices in this new phase
Baby you're a rich man
Reaffirming the listener as a rich individual
Baby you're a rich man
-Baby you're a rich man, too
-You keep all your money in a big brown bag inside a zoo
Reiterating the unusual act of storing money in a zoo
What a thing to do
Reiterating surprise or disbelief at this unconventional behavior
Baby, baby, you're a rich man
Repeating the identification of the listener as a rich person
Baby you're a rich man
-Baby you're a rich man, too (oh)
-Baby you're a rich man
Reiterating the listener's status as a rich individual
Baby you're a rich man (baby)
-Baby you're a rich man, too
-Baby you're a rich man
Continuing to address the listener as a person of wealth and privilege
Baby you're a rich man
-Baby you're a rich man, too
