Sexy Sadie
Lennon/McCartney

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 laid it down for all to see
You laid it down for all to see
Sexy Sadie, ooh, 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, ooh, 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, ooh, 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

Ha, She made a fool of everyone
Sexy Sadie
Ha, However big you think you are

What Goes On? Anomalies

0:40
Very high pitched tone (guess at over 12KHz) * NEW * in the first "you laid it down for all to". Low in level, and hard to catch without good headphones. Sticks through in pauses between words.
1:13 * NEW *
"Wa wa wa" cut off harshly (right)
1:15 * NEW *
Finger snaps/clicks
1:18,2:42
Pitch of piano (whole track?) noticeably flattens.
1:33,1:42,1:46
Click/Noisy scratch in vocal track
1:49-1:51 * NEW *
Finger snaps/clicks
2:05 * NEW *
Some kind of noise moves from right channel to just left of centre. This is in the "backing vocals" track, which are being ADT'd, hence the sound moves from the live vocal position (right) to the output of the ADT machine (panned a little left, lower volume)
2:30,2:53
You can hear John mumbling "Sexy Sadie"
