  Verse 1

  Boxes folding flat on the ground Bruised plums stacked without a sound Even the tired end of the day Feels like gold when you're on your way

  Pre-chorus

  Something in the air starts to hum Feet already know what's to come Everybody's turning, here you come

  Chorus

  Mabli, Mabli, light up the yard We been waiting, didn't take long Mabli, we sing it loud and hard Today the whole street sings your song

  Verse 2

  Crates get heavy, nobody minds Good things always take their time You walk in and the mood turns gold Best story that this market's told

  Bridge

  Not the fruit and not the crate It's you that makes the whole thing great Every year you come back round Best noise this old street has found

  Chorus

  Mabli, Mabli, light up the yard We been waiting, didn't take long Mabli, we sing it loud and hard Today the whole street sings your song

  Outro

  Boxes folded, plums put away Still we're singing your name today

  Verse 1

  A yellow ticket on the rail Snapping loud against the breeze You laughed and chased it down the trail Turning simple things to ease

  Chorus

  Mabli, hold that ticket high This whole street is calling your name Nobody moves through life so ably Light the candles, feel the flame

  Verse 2

  You found the gold in ordinary days Made the greyest morning gleam Every window catches your gaze Turns the whole thing to a dream

  Pre-chorus

  Something's building in the air tonight Feel it rising, feel it climb Say the word and we'll ignite

  Chorus

  Mabli, hold that ticket high This whole street is calling your name Nobody moves through life so ably Light the candles, feel the flame

  Bridge

  We're clapping loud for one more year Every corner knows your face Nothing about you feels shabbily worn You carry such easy grace

  Chorus

  Mabli, hold that ticket high This whole street is calling your name Nobody moves through life so ably Light the candles, feel the flame

  Outro

  That ticket's still against the rail Flapping like it means to stay

  Verse 1

  Canvas roof is snapping loud Ducks all lined up in a row Somebody's picked the lucky one But you're the best prize that we know

  Pre-chorus

  Music's up and lights are on Everybody's found their place Waiting on the count of three

  Chorus

  Mabli, light the candles now Mabli, let the whole room sing Nobody feels a room like you You make the ordinary thing

  Verse 2

  Hook goes wide and hook comes back Nobody minds if you play twice Every duck deserves a turn But you're the one we're watching, Mabli

  Chorus

  Mabli, light the candles now Mabli, let the whole room sing Nobody feels a room like you You make the ordinary thing

  Bridge

  Another year has spun around Still the brightest thing in sight Whatever's next, we're glad it's you Holding all this noise and light

  Chorus

  Mabli, light the candles now Mabli, let the whole room sing Nobody feels a room like you You make the ordinary thing

  Outro

  Roof still snapping, ducks still turning We're glad we found you, Mabli
