When Graham Nash and Tony Hicks, started writing this, Allan Clark had left the room. By the time he returned, the song was almost complete. In order to get his name on the writing credits, he quickly wrote the bridge " You're so like a woman to me..." Each verse was sung by a different member, Allan the first, Tony the second, and Graham the third. There happened to be a guy playing a steel drum on the street, and he was quickly recruited to play on the song.
