[Verse 1]
You're my baby and I love you
You can take a pound of love and cook it in the stew
When you've finished doing that
I know what you'll want to do
'Cause you're my baby and I love you

[Verse 2]
I'm your baby, do you love me?
I can drive a Cadillac across the Irish Sea
But when I've finished doing that
I know where I'll want to be
'Cause I'm your baby, and you love me

[Chorus 1]
Spirits of ancient Egypt
Shadows of ancient Rome
Spirits of ancient Egypt
Hung on the tele-
Hung on the tele-
Hung on the telephone

[Verse 2]
You're my baby, I know you know
You could sell an elevator to Geronimo
And when you've finished doing that
I know where you'll want to go
'Cause you're my baby, I know you know

[Chorus 2]
Spirits of ancient Egypt
Echoes of sunken Spain
Spirits of ancient Egypt
Hung on the phone a-
Hung on the phone a-
Hung on the phone again

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.
