Meaning in the Song:          The song uses "day tripper" metaphorically
to describe a girl who isn't interested in a serious commitment, but
just a casual fling.

I know almost all of the words by heart (except that part with
"one-night stand"), having first heard the song when I was way too
young to understand any of the above explanation.

Let me check: late 1965, in the Netherlands probably early 1966, so I
was 10 or 11 years old.
