      THE BEATLES - POLYTHENE PAM (Lennon/McCartney) From ABBEY ROAD
                   album. Released on 26th September 1969.



It looks that POLYTHENE PAM and SHE CAME IN THROUGH THE BATHROOM WINDOW
were rehearsed together and finally cut from the same take. Both are

Linked by four descending bars in E Major as a introductory dominant to
A Major, which is the main key for the second one. I have included those
four measures here at the end of POLYTHENE PAM because it makes much more
sense this way than the way it is presented on the CD, as if this brief
transition belonged to the second song - SHE CAME IN THROUGH THE BATHROOM
WINDOW.

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 jackboot 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.
