Beatle songs: When I'm 64

 Beatle songs: When I'm 64 by ric gustafson


Paul wrote this song when he was about 15. He wanted to write a cabaret tune that was popular in the 20's and 30's. He thought of his father when he wrote this song. When it was released, Jim McCartney had just turned 64. Paul wrote the song as a letter from a young man who was trying to coax a female into long term devotion. The lyrics were mocking. It reminded Paul of his father's music.
The song was on the album ' Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band'.
The album was released in June of 1967.
