What's your favourite song with an animal in the title?

Music professor Robert Rodriguez described the tune of "Little Lamb Dragonfly" as "quietly haunting" with "the power to move people without their quite understanding why."The song is structured in three sections. The first section is the "Little Lamb" segment, and is in the keys of D major and C major. The middle section contains three verses of the "Dragonfly" part of the song, and is in E major. In between the second and third "Dragonfly" verses, there is a repetition of some of the music from the "Little Lamb" segment, which helps the song maintain unity. Finally, the third section is a short reprise of the "Little Lamb" segment.

There have been several interpretations of what the song is about. One theory is that the song was inspired by the actual death of a sheep on McCartney's farm. McCartney confirmed that this is at least partially correct in an interview in the late 1980s. Another interpretation is that it tells a story of how McCartney became a vegetarian. This interpretation is inspired by lines such as:

    My heart is aching for you little lamb
    I can help you out but I cannot help you in.

Another interpretation is that the song contains a friendly message to John Lennon, particularly the lines:

    Since you've gone I never know
    I go on but I miss you so.

However, Rodriguez believes the latter interpretation is unlikely, since other songs McCartney recorded during the Ram sessions seemed to be intended to provoke Lennon's anger. Rather, Rodriguez believes that the lyrics are merely a number of phrases that McCartney strung together because they sounded good together, without intending any particular meaning. Author Vincent Benitez described the lyrics as "childlike" and not as sophisticated as the music, noting that this is excusable given that the song was originally intended to be used in a children's film.
