LATER ON, THE STORY GOES,
A BOTTLE FLOATED OUT TO SEA,
AFTER DAYS WHEN IT HAD FOUND THE PERFECT SPOT,
IT OPENED UP.
(Oo - oo - oo)
AND I READ THE NOTE
THAT YOU NEVER WROTE
TO ME.
(Oo - oo)
AFTER ALL, I'M SURE YOU KNOW,
THE MAYOR OF BALTIMORE IS HERE,
AFTER DAYS, NOW HE CAN FINALLY APPEAR,
NOW AT LAST HE'S HERE.
(Oo - oo - oo)
BUT HE NEVER IS GONNA GET MY VOTE,
'CAUSE HE NEVER IS GONNA GET A QUOTE,
FROM THE LITTLE NOTE THAT YOU NEVER WROTE TO ME.
(Oo - oo)
TO ME, (to me) TO ME.
FURTHER ON, ALONG THE LINE,
I WAS ARRESTED ON THE SHORE,
HOLDING PAPERS OF GOVERNMENTS GALORE,
I WAS TAKEN IN.
(Oo - oo - oo)
BUT I READ THE NOTE THAT YOU NEVER WROTE,
YES, I READ THE NOTE THAT YOU NEVER WROTE,
OH, I READ THE NOTE THAT YOU NEVER WROTE TO ME.
TO ME, (to me) TO ME.
