According to Lennon, the lyrics were largely derived from the literary style of Lewis Carroll's novel Alice in Wonderland. [3] [10] Lennon had read and admired Carroll's works, and the title of Julian's drawing reminded him of the "Which Dreamed It?" chapter of Through the Looking Glass, in which Alice floats in a "boat beneath a sunny sky".

Discussing the impact of the Sgt. Pepper album, author Nicholas Schaffner cited the song as an example of how the Beatles successfully captured the way "young people were trying to transcend, transform, or escape from straight society" in 1967. He said that just as Harrison's " Within You Without You" represented the exoticism of Herman Hesse's Siddartha, "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" was a "miniature pop version" of Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings in terms of conveying the sense of wonder the book evoked. [40] According to musicologist Walter Everett, the song's lyrics inspired "derivative texts" throughout the late 1960s, namely John Fred & His Playboy Band's " Judy in Disguise (With Glasses)", the Lemon Pipers' " Jelly Jungle (of Orange Marmalade)", Pink Floyd's " Let There Be More Light", and the Scaffold's "Jelly Covered Cloud".
