[Verse 1]
"I'm all alone," said she
"No one to phone, no one to touch me"
"I'm on my way," said the man in the long leather coat
As he started his car

[Verse 2]
"I'm glad you came," said she
"You got my note, you understood it"
He smiled as he hung up his long leather coat
On the back of the door

[Chorus 1]
Stroll on baby, step right in
Help yourself to a handful of everything in sight
Let the party begin
Stroll on baby, step right in
Help yourself to a handful of everything in sight
Let the party begin

[Verse 3]
"Oh, I love your coat," said she ("Oh, I love your coat," said she)
He said, "Well, thank you" (He said, "Well, thank you")
"In your note you said you had" ("In your note you said you had")
"No one to touch you" ("No one to touch you")
"So shall I go through?" ("So shall I go, so shall I go
So shall I go, so shall I go?")

[Bridge]
Why, yes, she said, you can go on ahead
Then she took out her key
And she locked him into the bedroom
Oh, oh, oh

[Verse 4]
"Now I am alone," said she
She took a can of really red paint
And she sprayed up and down on the long leather coat
On the bloody red floor

[Chorus 2]
So long, baby, I took you in
Just to show you that your long leather coat
Is really nothing but a handful of skin
Stroll on, baby, step right in
Help yourself to a handful of everything in sight
Let the party begin!

[Outro]
Let the party begin!
Oo-oo-oo-oo
Oo-oo-oo
Well, let the party, the party begin

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.
