Paul McCartney Day - Song of Congratulations from Prague

This song, dedicated to Paul McCartney, was partly composed in 1982 as a spontaneous reaction to Paul's song GET IT from the album TUG OF WAR. The unfinished song was recently completed on the occasion of his 80th birthday in appreciation for Paul´s great contribution to music and goodwill worldwide.

“Paul McCartney Day”

I got a thing for swing
That moves me
I get so carefree
Spellbound by a melody
When the rhythm takes the wheel
I just need to kick up my heels

It's such a thrill, I can't stand still
It gets me in the mood
My rubber soul wants to rock and roll Cause when I get it, I get it good

I got a thing for swing
I'm at its mercy It gives me wings And with a wip wop wim and wam
I'm dancing till I'm high
And let me tell you why

That Beatle who sung ‘Get It’ Has a name that carries on
And I dream of that same credit When I'm an octogenerian

When he sang with Carl Perkins
He had half as many candles to blow out
I'm so grateful he made it all this way And for all the songs that are here to stay It's Paul McCartney Day

I got a thing for swing…

It seems like only yesterday
Sir Paul turned sixty four And still he has much to say
Who could ask for more

When he sang with Carl Perkins...
