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
