Lavatory Lil

This bawdy song finds Paul McCartney parodying someone he once worked with who was a bit of a pain. "To tell you the truth, she was someone we rubbed up against," he told Uncut magazine. "You get a few of them in life, these people who screw you over. I thought, 'I'll have you. I'll write a song. You never know it's about you, because I won't tell anyone. But I'll know. And people who know who I'm talking about will know.' So I drew up my dislike of this individual and make her into a song character."

McCartney recorded this simple blues-rock song for McCartney III, an album where the ex-Beatle played all the instruments. He told Uncut the vocal was the first take. "If you will think you're doing a posh, important album, you might go over the vocal and think you can improve it," he said. "But this was: it will do."

McCartney used for the song a vintage 1954 Fender Telecaster guitar gifted to him by his wife Nancy. "My missus gave me this beautiful little 1954 Telecaster," he said, "which I haven't played too much until this album, so it gave me a great chance on the lead part of Lil."
