The Mud on the Mat
Style: Brass band

[Verse 1]
You tracked mud in again last night
Left your boot prints, left them right
Milk bottles waiting by the door
We just want you back once more

[Pre-chorus]
We've counted every minute round
Kept your welcome safe and sound
Now the whole street knows the sound

[Chorus]
Edie, Edie, kick your boots off here
Every birthday brings you near
Steady as the morning light
Edie, you make the whole house right

[Verse 2]
You always ring the bell twice too
Like the house won't know it's you
We'd know your step in any weather
Glad the mat has held together

[Bridge]
However far your boots have been
Muddy roads or fields of green
This door was always going to hold
Waiting warm against the cold

[Chorus]
Edie, Edie, kick your boots off here
Every birthday brings you near
Steady as the morning light
Edie, you make the whole house right

[Outro]
Leave your mud, we'll let it dry
Glad you're home, glad you're mine
