Muddy Shoes on the Stairs
Style: Barbershop

[Verse 1]
Shoes are piled up on the stairs
Every pair tells who came round
Nobody stayed away tonight
This is your favourite kind of sound

[Pre-chorus]
We came in from the cold and rain
Tracked the mud right through the hall
Just to raise a glass again

[Chorus]
Gary, Gary, light the candles high
Nothing about tonight feels wary
We came to watch the years go by
Happy birthday to you, Gary

[Verse 2]
The kettle's on, the coats are damp
Somebody's laughing near the door
You always pull a crowd like this
We wouldn't want it any other way

[Pre-chorus]
We came in from the cold and rain
Tracked the mud right through the hall
Just to raise a glass again

[Chorus]
Gary, Gary, light the candles high
Nothing about tonight feels wary
We came to watch the years go by
Happy birthday to you, Gary

[Bridge]
However far we had to come
We'd track mud through a hundred halls
Just to stand here in your kitchen
Just to hear you laugh at all

[Chorus]
Gary, Gary, light the candles high
Nothing about tonight feels wary
We came to watch the years go by
Happy birthday to you, Gary

[Outro]
The shoes will dry out on the stairs
We're glad we tracked the mud in here
