lyrics

Alex you are wise and old
So strong and bold like stilton mould
The nicest man I’ve ever known
Bold and nice like a big ol’ block of cheese

12 long years I’ve known your face
Like the moon in Boosh, you take up space
And the space you fill, it makes me feel
Like I’ve washed my hands in Aesop soap with orange peel

Oh Alex you are thirty
Thirty is a ripe old age
Oh Alex you are thirty
Thirty is another page

You’ve flipped your car
And bought another,
You’ve found a gal who’s like no other
You have a nephew from your brother
Not a person prouder than your mother

You sent me things when I was sad
You invite people to your pad
You spend time hanging with your dad
Alex you’re a pretty top knot Lad
Nothing bad

Oh Alex you are thirty
Thirty is a ripe old age
Oh Alex you are thirty
Thirty is another page

The fastest coder I’ve ever known
A google nexus as his phone
With cats and rats by his side
A bidet cleaning his backside
He’s happy, happy as the people in his life

Over to you Courtney!

[Solo]

If everyone was a bit like Alex
We’d start to be a bit like cheese

In the sense that cheese is really nice
Cause it feels like we’ve rolled 6 on a dice
Or picked the price on the price is right
Or slept over night at Whatley Crescent
I hope you’ve liked this downright dopey present

Oh Alex, you are thirty
Thirty is a ripe old age
Oh Alex you are thirty
Thirty is another page
