A worked example
Meet Dennis, our example Grandad
Dennis isn't real, but many grandads sound like him. Here's the kind of detail families send us, and what we do with it. Yours would be built from your own memories.
Dennis
Birthday man, garden king, queue master.
- Teaches conkers on summer evenings
- Shows us cribbage tricks
- Insists on proper queue etiquette
- Garden that feeds the whole street
What his family told us
It's Grandad's birthday. He's the man who taught us all conkers, cribbage and the correct way to queue. His garden could feed the street and often does. He says the same thing every birthday: 'save your money'. We have never once obeyed, and this year his present sings.
The sort of thing a grandchild might send us
Read the lyrics: Grandad's Garden GrooveAcoustic folk · Warm male vocals · Birthday
Verse 1
There's a man down the garden path we know so well,Rows of runner beans he's got more to sell,Dennis with his flat cap and his sleeves rolled high,Feeding half the street again, he won't say why.
Verse 2
He taught us conkers, how to soak and bake,The proper way to queue, no mistake,Cribbage by the fire with the pegs and board,Fifteen two, fifteen four, he keeps the score.
Chorus
Happy birthday, Dennis, here's to you today,Every single year you've got the same thing to say,"Save your money," that's the line you always tell,We never listen, Grandad, and you know that well.
Verse 3
So this year we saved up, went and did it right,Wrapped a song instead of candles and the light,Bet you're shaking your head, laughing at the cost,But some things, Dennis, they were never lost.
Chorus
Happy birthday, Dennis, here's to you today,Every single year you've got the same thing to say,"Save your money," that's the line you always tell,We never listen, Grandad, and you know that well.
Bridge
Marrows on the doorstep, tomatoes by the score,There's always room for one more at your door,You gave us all the good stuff, patient, steady, true,So today, just for once, this one's on you.
Final Chorus
Happy birthday, Dennis, we love you more each day,Go on and shake your head at what we're bound to say,"Save your money," well, this year we did not,We spent it all on telling you how much you're loved a lot.
Outro
Happy birthday, Grandad,Here's to you.
Every song is written from scratch for one person only. Dennis's came from conkers, cribbage, queues and a generous garden. Yours will come from whatever you tell us.
