Roger is right. And after Paul sings "...lend a hand" you can hear John shouting "Foot!" and George yelling "Leg!".

Musically, a completely incompetent attempt at white Reggae (see also Simon & Grfunkel's "Why Don't You Write Me?") but a great singalong standard.

Paul had a Jamaican friend who was a bandleader, and he was the originator of the phrase "Ob-la-di Ob-la-da life goes on bra".
