Mary had a little lamb
His fleece was white as snow
Ev'rywhere that Mary went
That lamb was sure to go
And you could hear them singing:
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

He followed her to school one day
It was against the rules
Made the children laugh and play to
See a lamb at school

You could hear them singing:
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

Soon the teacher turned it out
Still it lingered near
Waited patiently about till
Mary did appear

You could hear them singing:
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

"But the lamb loved Mary so"
The eager children cry
"And Mary loves the lamb, you know"
The teacher did reply

And you could hear them singing:
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
(Ev'ry body singing)

Paul McCartney

Sir James Paul McCartney, born June 18, 1942, is the single most successful music artist of all time. He found worldwide fame as the bass player and vocalist for The Beatles, and has continued to enjoy commercial success long after the band’s breakup.

His post-Beatles projects—the most lucrative of which was the band Wings, alongside then-wife Linda Eastman—have been met with mixed critical reception but he still retains a substantial public following, regularly conducting worldwide arena tours well into his later years.

His album sales with The Beatles, Wings and solo endeavours combined come to over 100 million, and his net worth was estimated to be approximately $1.2 billion circa 2018. He was knighted in 1997 and is known for his activism.
