[Verse 1]
Later on, the story goes
A bottle floated out to sea
After days, when it had found the perfect spot
It opened up

[Chorus]
And I read the note that you never wrote to me

[Verse 2]
After all, I'm sure you know
The Mayor of Baltimore is here
After days now he can finally appear
Now at last he's here

[Chorus]
But he never is gonna get my vote
Cause he never is going to get a quote
From the little note that you never wrote to me

[Instrumental break]

[Verse 3]
Further on, along the line
I was arrested on the shore
Holding papers of governments galore
I was taken in

[Chorus]
But I read the note that you never wrote
Yes, I read the note that you never wrote
Ah, I read the note that you never wrote to me

[Outro]
To me
To me
To me

Paul McCartney and Wings, also known simply as Wings, were an Anglo-American rock band formed in 1971 by former Beatle Paul McCartney with his wife Linda McCartney on keyboards, session drummer Denny Seiwell, and former Moody Blues guitarist Denny Laine. Wings were noted for frequent personnel changes as well as commercial success, going through three lead guitarists and four drummers. However, the core trio of the McCartneys and Laine remained intact throughout the group’s existence until 1981.
