	It sounds so off-the-cuff, it took me years to realize what a very fine song this is. John's lead vocal is a masterpiece of sarcasm and the McCartney/Harrison backing wah-wah's and mockery are great fun. The title "Sexy Sadie" has somewhat become a part of our language; curiously, both George Harrison ("Simply Shady") and Ringo Starr ("Devil Woman") wrote songs afterward that use this phrase in their lyrics.

	This song is about the Maharishi. The Beatles were very upset when they heard he tried to rape a girl while they were in India. Excellent song.	Oscar	July 23, 2005

Lyrics

Sexy Sadie what have you done
You made a fool of everyone
You made a fool of everyone
Sexy Sadie ooh what have you done.

Sexy Sadie you broke the rules
You layed it down for all to see
You layed it down for all to see
Sexy Sadie oooh you broke the rules.

One sunny day the world was waiting for a lover
She came along to turn on everyone
Sexy Sadie the greatest of them all.

Sexy Sadie how did you know
The world was waiting just for you
The world was waiting just for you
Sexy Sadie oooh how did you know.

Sexy Sadie you'll get yours yet
However big you think you are
However big you think you are
Sexy Sadie oooh you'll get yours yet.

We gave her everything we owned just to sit at her table
Just a smile would lighten everything
Sexy Sadie she's the latest and the greatest of them all.

She made a fool of everyone
Sexy Sadie.

However big you think you are
Sexy Sadie.
