Little and Largeby Kirsty Β· Sophie's 40th
0:000:00

Liverpool uni, Carnatic Halls, architecture degree

"How tall is Kirsty?" Six rulers, you measured me

Little and large, that's what we became

Sophie falling in the pond, always the same!

All-nighters for days, then cheers at our crits

Too many snakebites, we were losing our wits

House parties with cushions as stepping stones

Gluing yourself to your model, exhausted bones!

From Liverpool to London, Tobago to Trinidad

Wine and white rum, the best times we've had

You quit caffeine, you said with pride

Then Prosecco for breakfast, I nearly died!

Little and large, falling through the night!

Sophie slipping, dragging us all down with might!

Little and large, we're dancing till dawn!

From Carnatic to Carnival, the party goes on!

Little and large, lost flip flops on the floor!

Like a slippery jaguar, always wanting more!

Little and large, nothing can surprise!

Sophie's got the power that amplifies!

You showed me Monday wear for Carnival day

Sexy monokini, the Trinidad way

Thought I'd be shocked, a visitor's surprise

But my fancy dress box had everything, no disguise!

Natural extension of my samba soul

Festivals and feathers, that's my role

You made me believe I could be bigger, bolder

Your energy lifts me, Sophie, as we get older!

St. Michaels Road, though I didn't live there

Always at your house, uni crew everywhere

Paula, Liv, Charlie, and James too

Sophie at the epicenter, accidents breaking through!

Balance is not your gift, high center of gravity

But you can achieve anything with such tenacity

Getting in places, getting out of scenes

Work, love, fun, scandal, living the dream!

Staying at your mum's house in Wembley those days

Random London meetups in so many ways

Chaotic evenings, fun brunches, silly Saturdays

Laughing till we fell over, liming always!

Little and large, falling through the night!

Sophie slipping, dragging us all down with might!

Little and large, we're dancing till dawn!

From Carnatic to Carnival, the party goes on!

Little and large, lost flip flops on the floor!

Like a slippery jaguar, always wanting more!

Little and large, nothing can surprise!

Sophie's got the power that amplifies!

Call: Whinin'!

Response: Little and large!

Call: Trinidad nights!

Response: Little and large!

Call: Sunny hot days!

Response: Little and large!

Call: Sophie and Kirsty!

Response: Little and large!

Confidence and how you work a room

That's the trait I wish I had, you make flowers bloom

Fiery warning label: Do not add ethanol

But I love your fire, you're original!

Caretaker, chaos merchant, late-night philosopher too

I love Sophie in all her facets, it's true

You make me believe I can be better, bolder

Kindness mixed with power as we get older!

Little and large, falling through the night!

Sophie slipping, dragging us all down with might!

Little and large, we're dancing till dawn!

From Carnatic to Carnival, the party goes on!

Little and large, lost flip flops on the floor!

Like a slippery jaguar, always wanting more!

Little and large, nothing can surprise!

Sophie, you're forty, and you amplify!

Deep talking, liming, living the dream

Liverpool to Trinidad, the ultimate team

Shambino festivals, sunny Trinidad heat

Little and large, we can't be beat!

Penguin in the Amazon, only at a festival, yeah

Jam, the smoothest happy jam, that's our material

Forty years, Sophie, here's to you

Little and large, forever true!

Both: Little and large! Little and large!
