Serves me right. Mike, you are of course right but I was thinking of the 1975 version written by Cannpnball Aderley. I should have been more specific. From now on I will leave it to you experts.

More like Google/Wiki ain't perfect, never saw a mention of Cannonball.

I shall rack my brains for a suitable teaser.

I think you will find the other one on the same album, also by Lennon and Mccartney is Rocky Raccoon. Gord guessed first, so if I am right he wins.

Yesterday is correct for one, the other was Ringo's Octopus's Garden, both recorded in London October/November 1968 with an all British line up except for Benny of course.

Personnel included Kenny Baker, George Chisholm, Bill McGuffie, Lennie Bush, Tommy Whittle, Lad Busby and others, arrangements Wally Stott and Peter Knight

I have seen a reissue on Amazon but it costs and arm and a leg, pity cos my original LP is getting a bit tired!
