Green Pears Under One Bulb
Style: Ukulele singalong

[Verse 1]
A bulb keeps flickering overhead
Boxes stacked up, spilling green
You made a home from what we had
Best kept thing I've ever seen

[Pre-chorus]
You never needed much at all
Just a light and a bit of bread
Now the whole room's on its feet

[Chorus]
Happy birthday, Fred, Fred, Fred
Light the candles, raise your head
Every year that you've been led
Right back here, to us, instead

[Verse 2]
You'd hand out pears before they turned
Kept the sweetest ones for us
Never once kept count of what you gave
That's the kind of love you trust

[Bridge]
So let the bulb keep burning on
Let the boxes stay a mess
One more year of you is plenty
One more year, we're truly blessed

[Chorus]
Happy birthday, Fred, Fred, Fred
Light the candles, raise your head
Every year that you've been led
Right back here, to us, instead

[Outro]
Somewhere there's a bulb still glowing
Over pears you piled so high
