Verse 1
Ivy, you are seven, which is enormous
That's a whole entire hand and then some more
You have opinions now about the weather
A favourite kind of cloud, a least favourite door
You told me you're going to be a vet and a builder
And I said, brilliant, do both, do them at once
Pre-Chorus
So here's the loudest song your auntie's ever made
Get everybody up, we're doing this properly
Chorus
Seven! Seven! Ivy's turning seven!
Somebody get the good spoons and a pan
We are going round the kitchen table twice
And nobody's allowed to be tired yet
Verse 2
You named the cat a name we can't say near the neighbours
You built a whole hospital for beetles in the yard
You lost a tooth on Tuesday, ate an apple anyway
And bled a bit and thought that it was great
You're not a quiet person, don't you ever learn to be
The world has plenty quiet. It has one of you
Chorus
Seven! Seven! Ivy's turning seven!
Somebody get the good spoons and a pan
We are going round the kitchen table twice
And nobody's allowed to be tired yet
Bridge
One day you'll be older than this song is
You'll find it on a phone and go, oh no
And I hope you play it anyway, out loud
To somebody who never met you small
Final Chorus
Seven! Seven! Ivy's turning seven!
Somebody get the good spoons and a pan
We are going round the kitchen table twice
Then we're going round again, because you asked
Outro
Happy birthday, Ivy
Seven whole years
Go on then, blow them out
