Paper Hats on the Rail
Style: Acoustic pop

[Verse 1]
You held three hats so they wouldn't fall
balanced them right on the wet rail
laughing while the whole bus swayed
you made a party out of a derail

[Chorus]
Harriet, the noise gets louder
every time that you walk in
happy birthday, our own wonder
nobody could ever carry it like you

[Verse 2]
You handed one hat to a stranger
told them it was their big day too
that's the trick you always pull off
turning strangers into part of you

[Pre-chorus]
Candles waiting, we're all grinning
stood here holding back the cheer
because we know what's coming

[Chorus]
Harriet, the noise gets louder
every time that you walk in
happy birthday, our own wonder
nobody could ever carry it like you

[Bridge]
However far this bus has gone
you still make it feel like home
every year we get to know you
feels like the best one we've known

[Chorus]
Harriet, the noise gets louder
every time that you walk in
happy birthday, our own wonder
nobody could ever carry it like you

[Outro]
Three hats still balanced on that rail
we're cheering, and we won't sit down
