    Lyrics on LP inner sleeves were notoriously wrong on many occasions back then... not just The Beatles. I assume people transcribed them by ear
    and regional accents threw them off. <shrugs>

    I still find it hard to digest that some people *still* think it's
    Loretta Modern!!!

    Loretta Modern makes much more sense in line with the lyrics. Even it that's not what Paul meant (open for debate, it seems), my vote is on modern.

    Sorry, it's just not. Never was anything like 'modern'.
