Polythene Pam
Beatles · Anthology 3
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 a 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
She's so good looking but she looks like a man
Well you should see her in drag
Dressed in a 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
Polythene Pam
Released as part of The Beatles' Anthology 3, 'Polythene Pam' stands as a rare studio recording featuring the band's full lineup, including Ringo Starr on drums. The track serves as a poignant tribute to the group's early days, specifically honoring the friendship between John Lennon and Paul McCartney, who co-wrote the song about their shared experience with a girl named Pam. While the original demo was recorded in 1958, this version captures the band's evolving sound and camaraderie in the late 1990s. It remains a significant piece of Beatles history, offering listeners a glimpse into the personal dynamics that fueled their creative output during their formative years.
