Day Tripper
Jazz and Beatles Lyrics

The song "Day Tripper" by The Beatles can be interpreted in multiple ways as the lyrics are quite vague. However, one interpretation is that the singer is involved with a girl who is only interested in short-term, surface-level relationships. He has a good reason for taking the easy way out of the relationship because he realizes that he's been strung along as a "day tripper," just along for the ride and not looking for anything serious. The girl is described as a "big teaser" and someone who only plays "one night stands," indicating that she has no interest in commitment. The singer is expressing his frustration with the situation, as he tried to please her but realizes that it was futile because they were not on the same page.

Interestingly, the term "day tripper" was a British term in the 1960s that referred to people who took psychedelic drugs for only a day, rather than becoming habitual users. It's possible that this was the inspiration for the title, as The Beatles were known for their experimentation with psychedelic drugs. The song features a catchy guitar riff played by both George Harrison and John Lennon, and the vocal harmonies in the chorus are signature Beatles.
