The following song was composed by John to celebrate dads 60th birthday just over a month ago… great effort. It certainly brought lots of smiles and tears to OUR faces.
Happy Birthday Dad…
(G C D – fret 2 or 3…)
Chorus
The Higginsons have travelled here from outside Lancashire
From Liverpool and Lichfield, down from Northumbria
And now we’re here in Macclesfield, raise your glass of beer
Sing Happy birthday to our Dad, the man that brought us here.
Verse 1
As a young lad in Blackburn, his skills he did apply
To hanging round with signalmen and watching trains go by
But soon enough he realised the man that he could be
Sticking his hand up cow’s bums at University
Chorus
Verse 2
Apparently his Elvis act impressed one Annie D
He brought her back to Blackburn to start a family
& he took us all on holiday to the south of France and back
And blunted all the kitchen knives to protect us from attack
Chorus
Verse 3
Your passion to play music in whatever company
Has clearly been inspiring all gathered would agree
But so much more in other ways a role model you’ve been
Thank you dad for all the things that you’ve given to me
Chorus
If you have any really good photos of the weekedn celebrations then send me a copy to put onthe BLOG.
Love and hugs
Matthew
