Bertie's Workshop Waltz
Style: Ceilidh jig

[Verse 1]
Boxes stacked against the wall
Oily rags and tools and all
Neon buzzing bright above the bench
You made this cluttered corner feel like home

[Pre-chorus]
Every year you keep on fixing
Patching up what life keeps breaking
Tonight we raise a glass to you

[Chorus]
Happy birthday, Bertie, light the spark
We found you tinkering after dark
You've got a heart that's never thirty
Bertie, you're the best part of this party

[Verse 2]
You never brag about the hours
Spent among the grease and the flowers
Someone left you on the windowsill
Still you'd rather fix a thing for us

[Chorus]
Happy birthday, Bertie, light the spark
We found you tinkering after dark
You've got a heart that's never thirty
Bertie, you're the best part of this party

[Bridge]
Raise your voices, stamp your feet
Nobody here is half as sweet
We came to sing, we came to shout
Bertie, that's what tonight's about

[Chorus]
Happy birthday, Bertie, light the spark
We found you tinkering after dark
You've got a heart that's never thirty
Bertie, you're the best part of this party

[Outro]
Turn the neon down real low
Bertie, home is wherever you go
