	The album's best song. Great powerful start, which used to be the tune of a tv-program over here in The Netherlands. Don't remember clearly if it was about sports or cars. Wonderful toms at 0.04. Pauls showing his different type of voices. Falsetto at the start with a funky guitar in the background. A really great bassline here. I absolutely dig the acoustic guitar solo (already) at 0.52. Pauls normal singing voice at 1.06, but it's still acrobatics for the vocals. Paul does a wonderful job here. Acoustic guitar still in the background. Nice interlude at 1.30, building the song up once again. Ah! That bass at 2.09!	Bobber	July 7, 2012
	Most impressive about this song is Paul setting up for himself this extremely demanding and challenging vocal, and then scatting and dancing all over it like this is his natural singing voice. McCartney's variety of vocal deliveries is truly a wonder.	Bruce Beatlefan	January 9, 2007

Lyrics

You can dress me up as a robber,
But I won't be in disguise.
Only love is a robber
And he lives within your eyes.
Oo-oo-oo oo-ee-oo.

You can dress me up as a sailor,
But I'll never run to sea,
As long as your love is available to me
What do I do with a sea of blue?
Oo-ee-oo.

Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba.

Dressing me up,
It doesn't make a diff'rence what you want to do.
Which ever way you look at it,
I'm still in love with you.
If we go on forever, I may never make a change.

Dressing me up, (dressing me up)
And if I don't convince you, you needn't look too far
To see that I'm not lying
But I love you the way you are.
What's the point of changing when I'm happy as I am?

You can dress me up as a soldier,
But I wouldn't know what for,
I was the one that told you he loved you,
Don't wanna go to another war.
No, no, no.

Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba.
