[Verse]
There were rules you never told me, never came up with a plan
All the stories that you sold me didn't help me understand
But I had to get it worked out, had nobody who could help
So then in the end it turned out that I had to do it by myself

[Pre-Chorus]
Life's a game, rags from riches
Dogs and bitches hunt for fame
Difficult to know which way to turn
Lay the blame on the snitches
Wicked witches fan the flame
Careful what you touch in case you burn

[Chorus]
Queenie eye, Queenie eye, who's got the ball?
I haven't got it, it isn't in my pocket
O-U-T spells out (out), that's out (out)
Without a shadow of a doubt
'Cause you've been putting it about (About)
Hear the people shout
Hear the people shout

[Pre-Chorus]
Play the game, take your chances
Every dance is much the same
Doesn't matter which of them you choose
Never blame circumstances
If romances seldom came
Never pick a fight you're gonna lose

[Chorus]
Queenie eye, Queenie eye, who's got the ball?
I haven't got it, it isn't in my pocket
O-U-T spells out (out), that's out (out)
Without a shadow of a doubt
'Cause you've been putting it about (about)
Hear the people shout
Hear the people shout

[Bridge]
It's a long way to the finish
When you've never been before
I was nervous, but I did it
Now I'm going back for more

[Pre-Chorus]
That's out
Yeah (Ay), yeah (ay), ay ay ay
Ay (Yeah), ay (yeah), ay, ay, ay (yeah)
Hear the people shout
Yeah (Ay), yeah (ay), ay, ay, ay
Ay, ay, ay, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
Queenie eye, Queenie eye, who's got the ball?
I haven't got it, it isn't in my pocket
O-U-T spells out (out), that's out (out)
Without a shadow of a doubt
'Cause you've been putting it about (about)
Hear the people shout
Hear the people shout

Queenie eye, Queenie eye, who's got the ball?
I haven't got it, it isn't in my pocket
O-U-T spells out (out), that's out (out)
Without a shadow of a doubt
'Cause you've been putting it about (about)
Hear the people shout
Hear the people shout
Hear the people shout

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.
