According to _Beatles Complete_ (Hal Leonard publishing, 1987 - a most Questionable source):

POLYTHENE PAM 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

[Geez, while I'm at it, here's She Came in through the Bathroom Window. Same source:] ltrics corrected by [email protected]

She came in through the bathroom window protected by a silver spoon But now she sucks her thumb and wonders by the banks of her own lagoon

Didn't anybody tell her? Didn't anybody see? Sunday's on the phone to Monday Tuesday's on the phone to me

She said she'd always been a dancer Worked in fifteen clubs a day And though I thought I knew the answer Well, I knew but I could not say

So I quit the police department And got myself a steady job And though she tried her best to help me She could steal but she could not rob

Chorus

Hope This Isn't Too Far Wrong
