Yeah in his teens if I remember correctly.

It was written in the Beatles' Cavern Club days by Paul (so early 60s), BUT clearly it underwent many changes and the arrangements and lyrics were all substantially modified and perfected before being recorded for Sgt Pepper, to the point that it's hard to believe it was ever in the form of an early Beatles' number. To add to that, numerous experimental ideas were thrown in (for example not even singing the first quater of the first bridge such that it was only implied, which always felt weirdly disorientating), the use of clarinet, and the general comedy of the bells. On the contrary, it sounds manifestly like a later Paul number rather than something that came earlier. And is one of the cleverest later songs he did.
