Under the Weathered Slats
Style: Swing big band

[Verse 1]
You scatter crumbs like you own the whole street
Bold little pigeon bobs in for a treat
You laugh at the fuss over something so small
And somehow you brighten the light for us all

[Pre-chorus]
So bring out the horns and the noise
Let every glass in the room raise
Because tonight has your name on it

[Chorus]
Connie, the room lights up when you're here
Nobody else could steal every scene
Loud or so quiet, you're always so dear
Happy returns to our bonny old Connie

[Verse 2]
You feed every stray that wanders your way
Under the slats where the shadows all play
You give out your warmth like it costs you nothing
And somehow that makes you the finest thing

[Bridge]
Here's to the crumbs and the corners you've kept
Here's to the hearts you have quietly swept

[Chorus]
Connie, the room lights up when you're here
Nobody else could steal every scene
Loud or so quiet, you're always so dear
Happy returns to our bonny old Connie

[Outro]
Somewhere a pigeon still pecks at the ground
But you are the best thing that we ever found
