[Verse 1]
Give me your hand
I'd like to shake it
I want to show you I'm your friend
You'll understand
If I can make it clear
It's all that matters in the end

[Chorus]
"Put it there if it weights a ton"
That's what a father says to his young son
"I don't care if it weights a ton
As long as you and I are here, put it there
Long as you and I are here, put it there"

[Verse 2]
If there's a fight, I'd like to fix it
I hate to see things go so wrong
The darkest night and all it's mixed emotions
Are getting lighter sing along

[Chorus]
"Put it there if it weights a ton"
That's what a father says to his young son
"I don't care if it weights a ton
As long as you and I are here, put it there
Long as you and I are here, put it there"

Heba, heba helloa, oh, yeah
Heba, heba helloa, yo, whoa
Heba, heba helloa, oh yeah
Heba, heba helloa, yeah

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.
