"Baby You're a Rich Man"

I listened to Magical Mystery Tour yester-day and noticed a small point in "Baby You're a Rich Man," specifically in the line "You keep all your money in a big brown bag inside a zoo."  The repetition involved in the alliterative "big brown bag" hints at this large size.  That this particular sound is a plosive adds some extra emphasis to the effect.
