It's a riff on the end of "You Never Give Me Your Money" - the part where they sing, "1,2,3,4,5,6,7...all good children go to heaven", you know, just before "Polythene Pam". The Beatles riff sounds alittle like a similar riff from "Here Comes the Sun" which sounds kinda like a similar riff from the Cream song,"Badge".
The nursery rhyme words were written on a door found at Spahn Ranch which Bugliosi used to tie the Manson Family to the LaBianca killings.
Now, I told you 'bout our kid, he's not a tomato. Or tomahtoe. Let's call the whole thing off.
Thanks! I love "Badge" -- famously so named because that's how Eric Clapton read the word "bridge" as rendered by the hand of his co-writer George Harrison -- beyond all reason and with utter goopy sincerity. I mean, I love "White Room," too, but in part because after "In a white room" you are free to sing along with any random lyrics of your own devising without at all detracting from the value of the song. I usually just improvisationally furnish the whole lyrical house to suit my decor whims of the moment if I happen to hear it when at home.
But I'd feel that I was flying in the face of nature to even consider touching such eternal lines as "I told you bout the swans that they live in the park."
Proving once again that there's just no arguing about taste.
