(I'm a genius.) I think you're onto something. I actually remember hearing/reading John Lennon talking about this somewhere, and that's exactly what he said. They were just looking for a rhyme, that's what they came up with, and it stuck, even though they recognized that it was meaningless.

Maybe not in 1963, but I know how I'm singing it from now on!

People who aren't from Liverpool say I sound like I'm from Liverpool. People from Liverpool call me a woollyback. Just saying, in case anyone wants to pinch my cheek.

Allegedly the original line, before John suggested a change, was "Never been a beauty queen." So says the very reliable about.com, anyway.... http://oldies.about.com/od/britishinvas ... anding.htm
