THE BEATLES – POLYTHENE PAM
John Lennon
From ABBEY ROAD, released on September 26, 1969
-------------------------------------------------------
Recorded with She Came in Through the Bathroom
Window as one song on July 25th. The basic track
consisted of a 12-string acoustic guitar by John,
lead guitar by George, bass by Paul and drums by
Ringo, along with guide vocals by John and Paul.
This song and Mean Mr. Mustard were written in
India, and demos were recorded in 1968 in Esher,
together with several songs that ended up in the
White Album.
Well you should see Polythene Pam
She's so good-looking but she looks like a man
Well you should see her in drag dressed in her polythene bag
Yes you should see Polythene Pam
Yeah yeah yeah
Get a dose of her in jackboots and kilt
She's killer-diller when she's dressed to the hilt
She's the kind of a girl that makes the "News of the World"
Yes you could say she was attractively built
Yeah yeah yeah
