  Verse 1

  We stacked the plates up wonky Waiting on the cake You laughed until it toppled That was no mistake

  Pre-chorus

  Rain came hammering on the roof We didn't mind at all With you here nothing could go wrong

  Chorus

  Elsie, light the candles now Elsie, make a wish Every single year with you Beats any birthday wish

  Verse 2

  You told the same old story And somehow made it new We didn't need the sunshine We only needed you

  Bridge

  Let the storm keep pouring We've got nowhere to be Just us and all this laughter And you, turning twenty three... or any age you please

  Chorus

  Elsie, light the candles now Elsie, make a wish Every single year with you Beats any birthday wish

  Outro

  Stack the plates up wonky Another year, still here

  Verse 1

  Foil wrappers catch the wind Confetti spins and won't stop Somebody grab that ribbon You're the reason we're a mess

  Pre-chorus

  Fiddle's tuning, feet are ready Nobody's sitting still tonight So lift your glass and hold it steady

  Chorus

  Elsie, Elsie, kick your shoes off Dance until the bench legs wobble Nobody else could fill this room like Elsie, here's to you tonight

  Verse 2

  Somebody's lost the candles Somebody's found them again You laugh and it fixes Every little thing that went wrong

  Bridge

  Let the paper crowns slip sideways Let the music run too fast We're not counting up the years here We're just glad you're here at last

  Chorus

  Elsie, Elsie, kick your shoes off Dance until the bench legs wobble Nobody else could fill this room like Elsie, here's to you tonight

  Outro

  Let the last of the foil settle We'll still be here calling your name

  Verse 1

  Bags sliding on the bus floor Nobody minds the crush tonight You're laughing near the window Turning the whole aisle bright

  Pre-chorus

  Everyone's leaning in to hear you The city outside starts to blur We're counting down the stops now

  Chorus

  Elsie, tonight's for you Streetlights catching your grin Nobody else in this carriage Shines quite like you shine within

  Verse 2

  Somebody's balloon keeps drifting Bumping the roof with a squeak You catch it without even trying And that's the trick we all seek

  Chorus

  Elsie, tonight's for you Streetlights catching your grin Nobody else in this carriage Shines quite like you shine within

  Bridge

  Another year, another door We're glad to walk it with you Whatever waits past this evening We're staying close, right beside you

  Chorus

  Elsie, tonight's for you Streetlights catching your grin Nobody else in this carriage Shines quite like you shine within

  Outro

  Bags forgotten on the floor We're glad we came out for you
