"She Came In Through The Bathroom Window" lyrics

"She Came In Through The Bathroom Window"

(Gonna come out now
Ha ha ha
Wow look out.)

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
She worked at fifteen clubs a day
And though she thought I knew the answer
Well, I knew what 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?
Sunday's on the phone to Monday
Tuesday's on the phone to me, oh yeah


Writer(s): Paul McCartney, John Lennon
Paul McCartney based this song on an incident when a fan broke into his house. Several people of Apple scruffs claimed that they did it with different reasons: to steal photos of Paul, or his father, or a master tape of a song.
In a documentary in 2002 Paul McCartney said that the line "And so I quit the Police Department" was inspired by a driver's name Quitts and a note "Ex Police Department" next to it which he'd seen in a cab in New York.
Joe Cocker made a successful cover of this song in 1970. The song fitted his style perfectly and reached number 30 on the Billboard Top 40.
