  Verse 1

  Boots keep coming to your door More than came the year before Word got round the whole town fast We all showed up to shout for more

  Pre-chorus

  Someone's tuning up the fiddle Someone's stacking up the chairs We've been waiting on this moment

  Chorus

  Albert, kick your boots off here Albert, have another beer Every year we love you better Raise a glass, the man's still here

  Verse 2

  You cleared the shed to make some room Boxes shoved to make way for you Somehow found the space for all of us That's the kind of thing you do

  Chorus

  Albert, kick your boots off here Albert, have another beer Every year we love you better Raise a glass, the man's still here

  Bridge

  Could've stayed home, kept it quiet Instead you flung the whole door wide Nobody throws a night like this one Nobody else brings us alive

  Chorus

  Albert, kick your boots off here Albert, have another beer Every year we love you better Raise a glass, the man's still here

  Outro

  Boots will scatter, lights will dim But we'll come back again for him

  Verse 1

  Yellow chairs are folded flat Mud is thick around the posts You still show up like that Standing tall when it matters most

  Pre-chorus

  Every year you're steady ground We keep coming back around Tonight we let the noise get loud

  Chorus

  Albert, raise a glass up high Nobody holds a room like you Albert, you're the reason why We're still here and still true

  Verse 2

  Pitch is empty, floodlights dim Still we hear you cheering on You believed when hope was slim Long after all the players gone

  Bridge

  We could've shelved it, called it done But you never once let go So here's to every battle won And every year that starts to show

  Chorus

  Albert, raise a glass up high Nobody holds a room like you Albert, you're the reason why We're still here and still true

  Outro

  Chairs folded up, the pitch gone quiet Albert, we're glad you're ours tonight

  Verse 1

  Two drums and a plank of pine Every joint you built was fine No fuss, no wasted breath Just steady hands and common sense

  Chorus

  Albert, raise the roof tonight Nothing wobbles when you build it right We lean on you and never fall Albert, you're the best of all

  Verse 2

  You never bragged about the fix You just showed up and mixed the mix Quiet work, done with care Now the whole shed's standing there

  Pre-chorus

  So let the glasses hit the sky Let the candles burn up high Something's building, don't ask why

  Chorus

  Albert, raise the roof tonight Nothing wobbles when you build it right We lean on you and never fall Albert, you're the best of all

  Bridge

  You never needed praise or fuss You just kept the whole thing steady for us Solid ground beneath our feet That's the gift that can't be beat

  Chorus

  Albert, raise the roof tonight Nothing wobbles when you build it right We lean on you and never fall Albert, you're the best of all

  Outro

  Still the plank sits strong and true Just like we always feel with you
