Songs for Jonathan

Verse 1

Chairs are tipping, plates take flight Somebody grab the picnic clan We chase them laughing through the light All because it's you, Jonathan

Chorus

Jonathan, the noise, the cheer Jonathan, we raise the fan Nobody else could gather us here Happy birthday, Jonathan

Candles bending in the breeze Somebody's holding on the plan We're not sitting down till we

Horns are blaring, nobody cares you're grinning in the back counting down the minutes there home is on the right track

Verse 1

Towel on the grass, foil flying loose Wind keeps trying to steal our juice You just laugh and hold it down Turning chaos into your crown

Chorus

Jonathan, we're glad you ran Straight into this crazy plan Every year you light the span Best thing since the pantheon

Jonathan, we're glad you ran Straight into this crazy plan Every year you light the span Best thing since the pantheon

Outro

Fold the towel, save the crumbs Glad another birthday's come
