Songs for Louie

Verse 1

Empty cups get stacked up tall We are cheering, watching them fall Wooden horses spin their race You light up this whole loud place

Chorus

Louie, Louie, blow it out This is what a birthday's about Truly nobody shines as bright Louie, you're the toast tonight

Verse 2

The band keeps up a swinging beat Painted horses pass our seat We are calling out your name Every lap feels like a game

Pre-chorus

Hear the horns begin to swell Everybody's got a tale to tell And it always comes back round to

Chorus

Louie, Louie, blow it out This is what a birthday's about Truly nobody shines as bright Louie, you're the toast tonight

Bridge

Chewy toffee, sticky hands Cheering with the whole brass band We would ride this out for hours Just to keep this joy of ours

Chorus

Louie, Louie, blow it out This is what a birthday's about Truly nobody shines as bright Louie, you're the toast tonight

Outro

Cups are empty, horses slow We'll light the candles every year, you know

Verse 1

Bags sliding down the metal shelf Dust in the air like confetti itself Someone's shouting your name from the back We're lighting the candles ourselves

Pre-chorus

Count down the seconds, hearts beating loud We're climbing the walls, we're proud Something's about to blow

Chorus

Louie, we're throwing the flour like snow Truly the best show we know Everyone here would follow you anywhere Louie, you're stealing the whole show

Verse 2

You crash through the door like a song Grinning like nothing's gone wrong We saved you the corner piece Even the mess feels like home where you belong

Chorus

Louie, we're throwing the flour like snow Truly the best show we know Everyone here would follow you anywhere Louie, you're stealing the whole show

Bridge

Blow out the candles, make it count Whatever you wish for, we'll help it amount Another year louder, another year true

Chorus

Louie, we're throwing the flour like snow Truly the best show we know Everyone here would follow you anywhere Louie, you're stealing the whole show

Outro

Bags on the shelf, dust in the light Happy birthday, Louie, tonight

Verse 1

Blue bucket packed with sand You pressed it down so sure Whatever you set your hand to You always ask for more

Pre-chorus

You never did things halfway Not once, not for a day So here's the noise you're owed

Chorus

Louie, light the candles up Nobody loves like you do Every year you're truly something Louie, here's to you

Verse 2

The tide came in and took it You just started digging again That's you all over, honestly Building castles in the rain

Pre-chorus

You never did things halfway Not once, not for a day So here's the noise you're owed

Chorus

Louie, light the candles up Nobody loves like you do Every year you're truly something Louie, here's to you

Bridge

Whatever gets knocked down We'll dig it back up with you Cake first, questions later That's the only rule that's true

Chorus

Louie, light the candles up Nobody loves like you do Every year you're truly something Louie, here's to you

Outro

Pack the sand down deep again Another year, still going strong
