  Verse 1

  The caravan was shaking in the wind Cups lined up like we had sinned Somebody laughed and somebody spilled But you kept pouring till the night was filled

  Pre-chorus

  Now the whole place leans your way Every voice has things to say So here it comes, don't run away

  Chorus

  Frankie, Frankie, lift your cup We're raising every glass right up Frankie, you're the reason here So let the whole room give a cheer

  Verse 2

  The counter rattled, so did we Nothing steady, nothing free But you stood grinning, sure and true And somehow that held the whole thing through

  Pre-chorus

  Now the whole place leans your way Every voice has things to say So here it comes, don't run away

  Chorus

  Frankie, Frankie, lift your cup We're raising every glass right up Frankie, you're the reason here So let the whole room give a cheer

  Bridge

  Another year, another spin Look how far you've carried us in Whatever shakes, whatever bends You're still the one who gathers friends

  Chorus

  Frankie, Frankie, lift your cup We're raising every glass right up Frankie, you're the reason here So let the whole room give a cheer

  Outro

  The cups are empty, the night grows late Here's to you, Frankie, another great

  An upbeat synthpop birthday singalong built from a crate of apples with candles pushed in, the kind of homemade cake substitute that somehow says more than a shop one ever could.

  Verse 1

  Wooden crate stacked up with apples Candles pushed in, crooked and stubborn Nobody's lit them yet We're all just waiting on you to arrive

  Chorus

  Frankie, light the room up now We've been saving all our sparks somehow Every candle's leaning your way Frankie, we're so glad you're around

  Verse 2

  You walk in and the kitchen tilts Everyone starts talking louder Someone grabs a match, quick Because the whole night's been waiting on you

  Pre-chorus

  Count the candles, lose the number Doesn't matter, we're not counting We just want to see you glow

  Chorus

  Frankie, light the room up now We've been saving all our sparks somehow Every candle's leaning your way Frankie, we're so glad you're around

  Bridge

  Even the apples seem to know Something good is standing here Every year we build this small fire Just to watch it find your face

  Chorus

  Frankie, light the room up now We've been saving all our sparks somehow Every candle's leaning your way Frankie, we're so glad you're around

  Outro

  The crate still smells of apples Frankie, blow it out, make it last

  Verse 1

  Cans stacked up in a pyramid Balanced steady, never falling down You built that with your own two hands Same way you hold this whole town

  Pre-chorus

  Grease on your knuckles, grin on your face You fix what's broken, you find the way So light the candles, let's give you your day

  Chorus

  Frankie, Frankie, light up the room Nobody's steadier, nobody's better Frankie, we're singing it loud for you Happy birthday, our own go getter

  Verse 2

  You never once left a job half done You show up early, you stay till late Folks lean on you like an old porch swing You carry us all and you carry it straight

  Bridge

  Here's to the hands that never quit Here's to the heart that just keeps giving Raise up a glass, let's toast to it Another year of you, and living

  Chorus

  Frankie, Frankie, light up the room Nobody's steadier, nobody's better Frankie, we're singing it loud for you Happy birthday, our own go getter

  Outro

  Stack the cans up, one more year We're glad you're here, we're glad you're here
