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.
Sigh... I think this is the worst song of the Abbey Road album. It's only saving grace, if it has any at all, is that it leads real quick into "she Came In Through The Bathroom Window."
Ah yes! You could say she was attractively built! Love the guitar riff. Fits perfectly with the whole run that is the second half of Abbey Road. They proved they were the masters.
Polythene Pam was a real person! She was a Liverpudlian who was in a pub where the Beatles performed gigs. She was OBSESSED with polythene, which earned her the nickname "Polythene Pam." I know that story sounds weird, but it's true!
