  Verse 1

  Glasses stack up by your hand Every one a night we planned Sticky mat beneath them all Holding up the nights we call

  Chorus

  Carl, you light the whole room up Pour the joy in every cup Nobody laughs quite like you, Carl We're glad you're here, we're glad you're ours

  Verse 2

  Dartboard hanging on the wall Watched you win and watched you fall Doesn't matter how you played You made the evening, made our day

  Pre-chorus

  Count the glasses, count the years Count the friends who bought you beers All of us are raising up for

  Chorus

  Carl, you light the whole room up Pour the joy in every cup Nobody laughs quite like you, Carl We're glad you're here, we're glad you're ours

  Bridge

  Here's to you under this old roof Here's to every happy proof That the best nights always find you

  Chorus

  Carl, you light the whole room up Pour the joy in every cup Nobody laughs quite like you, Carl We're glad you're here, we're glad you're ours

  Outro

  Stack the glasses, one more round This is where the joy is found

  Verse 1

  You leave things ready for the morning Boots lined up without a warning Green machine still holding heat Nobody works a yard like Carl

  Chorus

  Carl, you keep this whole place turning Every corner shows you're earning Carl, we see the hours you give Nobody burns quite like this Carl

  Verse 2

  Mud along the handle tells a story Every scratch a kind of glory Hands that know what patience costs Nobody stands so steady, Carl

  Pre-chorus

  So light the thing and let it glow Gather round before you go Something in this room's about to swell

  Chorus

  Carl, you keep this whole place turning Every corner shows you're earning Carl, we see the hours you give Nobody burns quite like this Carl

  Bridge

  Take the evening, put the tools down Let the noise wrap you around Carl, tonight belongs to you

  Chorus

  Carl, you keep this whole place turning Every corner shows you're earning Carl, we see the hours you give Nobody burns quite like this Carl

  Outro

  Leave the mower by the door We love you more than that, and more

  Verse 1

  Storm outside but we don't care Every cup is on the move Something wild is in this air And you're the one we came to prove

  Pre-chorus

  Feel the whole room start to sway Nothing here can hold us down Get ready, here's what we came to say

  Chorus

  Carl, you shake the whole world loose Every table starts to hum You're the spark we can't reduce Carl, we came for everyone

  Verse 2

  Little caravan can't stay still Rattling like it's dancing too Nobody plans this, but we will Every year we show up for you

  Chorus

  Carl, you shake the whole world loose Every table starts to hum You're the spark we can't reduce Carl, we came for everyone

  Bridge

  Cups are jumping, hearts are wide Nobody wants to be outside This is the night, this is the year This is the reason we're all here

  Chorus

  Carl, you shake the whole world loose Every table starts to hum You're the spark we can't reduce Carl, we came for everyone

  Outro

  Let the little cups keep ringing Carl, we'll still be here singing
