  Verse 1

  Yellow cups along the fence You lined them up like confidence Bikes are parked but you're not resting Already stealing the whole scene

  Chorus

  Marvin, light the whole street up Nobody parties like you, Marvin Every year you're more charming Give this crowd a reason to erupt

  Verse 2

  Wire racks catching evening gold You never do what you're told Some folks fade but you keep growing Bolder now than you were of old

  Pre-chorus

  Feel that funky beat build up Hands are reaching for the cup Something good is coming, Marvin

  Chorus

  Marvin, light the whole street up Nobody parties like you, Marvin Every year you're more charming Give this crowd a reason to erupt

  Bridge

  Raise the cup and hold it high Sing it loud, don't ask us why We just want the world to know it Marvin, you're the reason we show up

  Chorus

  Marvin, light the whole street up Nobody parties like you, Marvin Every year you're more charming Give this crowd a reason to erupt

  Outro

  Cups still swinging on that fence Happy birthday, no pretence

  Verse 1

  Napkins fly across the back seat Chasing down the empty glovebox We are laughing, we can't keep our feet still Racing off to find you, Marvin's box

  Chorus

  Marvin, Marvin, raise the roof up Two candles short of charming You're the reason we're all here tonight Never met a soul so disarming

  Verse 2

  You walk in and the whole room turns Something in you always warming Every table leans a little closer Nobody minds if the night keeps forming

  Pre-chorus

  Pour it out and pass it round Somebody's calling out for Marvin Here it comes, the loudest sound

  Chorus

  Marvin, Marvin, raise the roof up Two candles short of charming You're the reason we're all here tonight Never met a soul so disarming

  Bridge

  Not the cake, not the candlelight It's you we came here for However far we've had to travel You're worth the opening of the door

  Chorus

  Marvin, Marvin, raise the roof up Two candles short of charming You're the reason we're all here tonight Never met a soul so disarming

  Outro

  Napkins settle, glovebox closes We'll keep tonight right where it landed
