John Lennon on "Do You Want to Know a Secret"
"I wrote this one. I remember getting the idea from a Walt Disney film--Cinderella or Fantasia. It went something like: 'Do you wanna know a secret, promise not to tell, standing by a wishing well.'"

"She Came in Through the Bathroom Window" Lyrics
by John Lennon and Paul McCartney
As Released by the Beatles (1969)
Come on now.
Heh heh heh.
Oh look out!
She came in through the bathroom window
Protected by a silver spoon
But now she sucks her thumb and wanders
By the banks of her own lagoon.
Didn't anybody tell her?
Didn't anybody see?
Sundays on the phone to Monday
Tuesdays on the phone to me.
She said she'd always been a dancer
She worked at fifteen clubs a day
And though she thought I knew the answer
Well I knew but I could not say.
And 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.
Didn't anybody tell her?
Didn't anybody see?
Sundays on the phone to Monday
Tuesdays on the phone to me.
Oh yeah.
