Birthday Song
Chorus 1:
Ivy, you’re a rose of a lady
With oh so many stories to tell
Of the time you spent in Cornwall and Kent
And other tales from your endless well
If anybody asks, you’ll say that life is wonderful
You always see the glass as half full
Sweeter than millionaire’s shortbread
You don’t mind a cheeky cider every now and then
Chorus 2:
Cinders, we’re so lucky you’ve been here
For more than one hundred years
With a smile so wide and a heart so grand
It’s lovely to hear you laugh
Hear the blackbird sing so beautifully
Think about your wonderful family
Maybe get hooked on an audio book
Or lose yourself in your memories
Chorus 1
You’re a mother and a granny
Always go to church on Sunday
You’re a member of the Women’s Institute
No crossword is too cryptic
You love watching cricket
And you’ve got a real sweet tooth
But there is a mystery
Befuddling and baffling
How have you lived over a hundred years
Without ever eating your greens
Chorus 2
Around the car park take Trixie for a trip
Feel the soft breeze and think about Pip
Going to the port, oh the late night drives
Waiting for Francis to arrive
Chorus 1
You’re positive and generous
Known for your sense of humor and fun
Some call you Cinders others call you M
Everywhere you go, you make new friends
Chorus 2 and 1
