Chairs Scraping, Clive Arriving
Style: Motown soul

[Verse 1]
Chairs scraping cross the old waxed floor
Somebody flings open the door
Cold hall, but nobody's shivering
Because we heard that you'd arrive

[Chorus]
Clive, the whole room comes alive
Every candle wants to jive
You make the dullest hall feel golden
Happy birthday, Clive, oh Clive

[Verse 2]
Folding chairs in crooked rows
Somebody's already stepped on your toes
We don't care, we're all still grinning
Because you're the reason we arrive

[Pre-chorus]
Hear that scrape, that metal cheer
Feel the draught, but you're still here
Something's building, get ready to strive

[Chorus]
Clive, the whole room comes alive
Every candle wants to jive
You make the dullest hall feel golden
Happy birthday, Clive, oh Clive

[Bridge]
Blow out the candles, make it loud
We came here just to make you proud
Every year we're still amazed
How one name lights a room ablaze

[Chorus]
Clive, the whole room comes alive
Every candle wants to jive
You make the dullest hall feel golden
Happy birthday, Clive, oh Clive

[Outro]
Chairs scrape again as we all rise
We're glad you're here, we're glad you're Clive
