Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Comment: At present, this article doesn't meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines for songs. The song may be notable if it has "been the subject of multiple, non-trivial published works whose sources are independent of the artist and label." At present, this article relies on two sources, one of which is a primary source. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 02:29, 3 December 2023 (UTC)

"Dress Me Up As A Robber" is a song by the English musician and former Beatles bassist and vocalist Paul McCartney as the penultimate track on his third album Tug of War.
Reviews edit
According to Ted Montgomery, the song sounds like “an odd quagmire of jazz-infected chords and synth strings.”[1]
Meaning edit
According to McCartney, “The words are just kinda words, they just came about. You can do whatever you like to me, you can call me what you like. but I’ll still be what I am; you can dress me up as a sailor, a robber, a soldier, but it really won’t matter, I will still be me. If you dress me up as a soldier I will be the little fellow who goes to Northern Ireland and writes a book about the horrors of it.”[2]

- Paul McCartney – bass, guitar, lead and backing vocals
