[Verse 1: Denny Laine]
Later on, the story goes
A bottle floated out to sea
After days, when it had found the perfect spot
It opened up

[Chorus: Denny Laine]
And I read the note that you never wrote to me

[Verse 2: Denny Laine]
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

[Chorus: Denny Laine]
But he never is gonna get my vote
Cause he never is going to get a quote
From the little note that you never wrote to me

[Bridge]
Me, me, to me

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3: Denny Laine]
Further on, along the line
I was arrested on the shore
Holding papers of governments galore
I was taken in
[Chorus: Denny Laine]
But I read the note that you never wrote
Yes, I read the note that you never wrote
Ah, I read the note that you never wrote to me

[Outro: Denny Laine]
To me
To me
To me
