  Verse 1

  Bus is packed and the brakes complain Three cups roll and knock about You just laugh like it's champagne That's the sound we came here to shout out

  Pre-chorus

  Every head turns when you walk in Whole room catches your grin We've been waiting to begin

  Chorus

  Idris, light the whole place up Nobody else can do it like this We're banging spoons on a paper cup Cheers to you, Idris

  Verse 2

  Traffic stops but you don't mind Turn the delay into a dance Rattling cups keep perfect time You make a dull road feel like a chance

  Pre-chorus

  Every head turns when you walk in Whole room catches your grin We've been waiting to begin

  Chorus

  Idris, light the whole place up Nobody else can do it like this We're banging spoons on a paper cup Cheers to you, Idris

  Bridge

  Candles catch and start to sway Sing it louder, don't you dare hold back This is your day, your day, your day And we're not letting one bit slack

  Chorus

  Idris, light the whole place up Nobody else can do it like this We're banging spoons on a paper cup Cheers to you, Idris

  Outro

  Bus rolls on but the noise stays here Happy birthday, our Idris, loud and clear

  Verse 1

  Sunlight catches something small Foil stuck up on that old wire wall Nobody else would stop and stare But you'd find treasure anywhere

  Pre-chorus

  Small things shine when you're around You turn the ordinary golden Feel that rhythm building now

  Chorus

  Idris, put your hands up high Sweetest one under this sky We came here just to make some noise Idris, this whole day is yours

  Verse 2

  Gates swing open, morning bright You walked through like pure delight Every school run, every year Someone's glad that you are here

  Bridge

  Blow the candles, let it go Everybody that you know Came to sing and shout your name

  Chorus

  Idris, put your hands up high Sweetest one under this sky We came here just to make some noise Idris, this whole day is yours

  Outro

  That little glint caught in the fence Still shines like you, still makes no sense

  Verse 1

  Cans go rolling on the gravel noon light burning clean and white you laugh and everybody follows you turn the rooftop into flight

  Pre-chorus

  Something's building past the edges count it down before it's gone we're all waiting on the moment

  Chorus

  Idris, this is your whole minute hold it like it's yours to keep nobody here wants to dismiss it this is not a thing we'd miss

  Verse 2

  Sun is loud and so's the racket noise you make just fills the air every can that hits the concrete sounds like someone who's still here

  Bridge

  Say the year out like a dare we don't care what number lands you're the reason we're all standing cheering on this gravel ground

  Chorus

  Idris, this is your whole minute hold it like it's yours to keep nobody here wants to dismiss it this is not a thing we'd miss

  Outro

  Let the empty cans keep rolling you're the noise that we came for
