How We Became Fabulous 🎶

I was at Buzo, doing what I do best,

Holding court, being fabulous, outshining all the rest.

Then I heard this laugh—piercing through the room,

I turned around and pointed, "You're the slut, I presume!"

Sophie looked at me, that energy, that light,

I said "We must be friends," and honey, I was right.

Two loudest people finding each other that day,

Started something beautiful in a Trinidad way.

Eddie Fabulous met his match that night,

Sophie's got that fire, burning just as bright.

From Buzo to the market, shared expensive taste,

Shoes and travel stories, nothing goes to waste.

Eddie Fabulous, found my family here,

Sophie, James, the Charles-Barbers—people I hold dear.

Met James separately, saw him walking down the street,

Tall white Prince William look-alike on his feet.

I said "Why you walking, man?" pulled up in my flash car,

Gave him lifts regularly, didn't know who you are.

Then the engagement party came, BBQ by the pool,

I brought my cornish hens, doing what I do.

That's when we all realized—wait, we know each other!

Sophie's man was my friend, now we're all like brothers.

Monday Meals together, I paired up with James,

'Cause honestly, his cooking needed professional flames.

I'd always outshine everyone, but that's the fun,

Cooking brought us closer, made us all as one.

Eddie Fabulous, found my tribe, my crew,

Sophie's piercing laugh still cuts right through.

Como como boyfriend, she says "Oh Eddie!" every time,

But that's our language, that's our shared design.

Eddie Fabulous, mum and dad to them all,

That's what happens when you answer friendship's call.

Saturday mornings, six AM, I'm at the market stand,

Sophie says she'll join me but she never makes the plan—

Too busy out the night before, living her best life,

That's my girl, that's the energy, that's the vibe.

We love expensive dining, fancy gifts from abroad,

Antigua trips where I chef for millionaire gods.

Shoes for days, we understand that flair,

Cascade neighbors now, we're always there.

King of karaoke, hostess with the mostest too,

I show up for every party that the Charles-Barbers threw.

Hilton with her mum, celebrating birthdays right,

I bring fabulous food to every single night.

Recently was ill, hospital wasn't fun,

Sophie came to visit, showed me I'm the one.

Through the highs and lows, that's what family means,

From a restaurant laugh to living out our dreams.

Eddie Fabulous, grateful for this bond,

Sophie saw my soul, we've been connected all along.

From that Buzo moment to the family we've become,

Mum and dad and friend—the fabulous job is never done.

Eddie Fabulous, loving every day,

Happy 40th, Sophie—you're family all the way!

From piercing laughs to market runs at dawn,

Two loudest souls—our friendship carries on.

Grannies hate me, but you love me through and through,

Happy birthday, Sophie—this fabulous life's for you!
