Sexy Sadie

By John T. Marck

This is a great song by Lennon, which describes his total dissatisfaction with the Maharishi. While at his retreat, it has been said that the Maharishi attempted to rape Mia Farrow. Once The Beatles learned of this, they immediately went to the Maharishi, and Lennon announced they were all leaving. The Maharishi asked why? Lennon said, "If you're so cosmic, you'll know why." As originally written, some of its lyrics were considered obscene, and had to be refined. Lennon had used the Maharishi's name, but had to change it for fear of being sued. But, Sexy Sadie is the Maharishi. Needless to say, that was the end of the Maharishi and The Beatles relationship.

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, Sexy Sadie
