Later on, the story goes
A bottle floated out the sea
After days, when it had found the perfect spot it opened up
And I read the note that you never wrote to me
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
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
Further on, along the line
I was arrested on the shore
Holding papers of governments galore
I was taken in
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
