Frank, Raise a Glass
Style: Ceilidh jig

[Verse 1]
Old bikes rust down by the water
Green weed pulling at the spokes
Nothing sinks that's worth the saving
You're the one who never sank

[Pre-chorus]
Fill the glasses, pull the chairs round
Somebody find the fiddle strings
Tonight the whole room's leaning forward

[Chorus]
Frank, you're the reason we came out tonight
Frank, you're the toast and you're the plank we walk with pride
Nobody here would swap you for the bank
We're only here because of Frank

[Verse 2]
Apple cores drift on past the bicycles
Nothing wasted, nothing lost
You take the bruised bits and you thank them
Turn the ruined into gold

[Chorus]
Frank, you're the reason we came out tonight
Frank, you're the toast and you're the plank we walk with pride
Nobody here would swap you for the bank
We're only here because of Frank

[Bridge]
Stand up straight and take your yank of applause
However far you've come, however far you'll go
We'll follow you past any rank or reason
Just say the word and we'll all trail along

[Chorus]
Frank, you're the reason we came out tonight
Frank, you're the toast and you're the plank we walk with pride
Nobody here would swap you for the bank
We're only here because of Frank

[Outro]
Let the old wheels keep on turning
Frank, you're the one who never sank
