Elsie, Light the Bench Up
Style: Ceilidh jig

[Verse 1]
Foil wrappers catch the wind
Confetti spins and won't stop
Somebody grab that ribbon
You're the reason we're a mess

[Pre-chorus]
Fiddle's tuning, feet are ready
Nobody's sitting still tonight
So lift your glass and hold it steady

[Chorus]
Elsie, Elsie, kick your shoes off
Dance until the bench legs wobble
Nobody else could fill this room like
Elsie, here's to you tonight

[Verse 2]
Somebody's lost the candles
Somebody's found them again
You laugh and it fixes
Every little thing that went wrong

[Bridge]
Let the paper crowns slip sideways
Let the music run too fast
We're not counting up the years here
We're just glad you're here at last

[Chorus]
Elsie, Elsie, kick your shoes off
Dance until the bench legs wobble
Nobody else could fill this room like
Elsie, here's to you tonight

[Outro]
Let the last of the foil settle
We'll still be here calling your name
