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
