Derek's Day
Style: Ukulele singalong

[Verse 1]
Green balloon out on the grass
Pigeons hopping, watching it pass
Sitting on a slatted bench
You'd have made the whole thing class

[Pre-chorus]
You turn small things into gold
Every story better told
So let's get this candle lit

[Chorus]
Derek, Derek, raise a cheer
Nobody else we'd rather have here
Something in you steady and true
Happy birthday, Derek, my dear

[Verse 2]
Some folk fade into the wall
You're the one we notice at all
Even pigeons stop and stare
Waiting to see what you'd call

[Pre-chorus]
You turn small things into gold
Every story better told
So let's get this candle lit

[Chorus]
Derek, Derek, raise a cheer
Nobody else we'd rather have here
Something in you steady and true
Happy birthday, Derek, my dear

[Bridge]
Another year, another lap
Still the one who fills the gap
We're glad you're standing where you are
Right here with us, no need to map

[Chorus]
Derek, Derek, raise a cheer
Nobody else we'd rather have here
Something in you steady and true
Happy birthday, Derek, my dear

[Outro]
That green balloon is drifting still
We're happy you're the one we love
