Too Hot to Tan 🎶

I met you through Barber back in Liverpool days St. Helens nights at the Zoo, we were crazed Sitting in the garden, talking for hours Hit it off straight away, that's the power Leeds nights out when I was at uni Every shit hole with the crew, wild and free Always laughing, non-stop when you're around Sophie, you're the good times I've found I wanted a tan better than Jill's, you see She was in Greece, I was in your country But that Caribbean heat hit me hard "Too hot to tan!" I said in your yard You showed me how to wine like Trini girls do From Liverpool to Tobago, something new Through all these years, the laughs ring true Happy forty, Sophie, here's to you You're the reason that we're laughing still From St. Helens pubs to Caribbean hills You're class through and through Happy forty, Sophie, this one's for you You and Barber got married first, Tobago beach Jill and I flew out there, within reach Then we got married, you both came through Barber stood as joint best man, true Jet skis on the final day we rode Your whole wedding crew out on the water showed Every single person there was part of your tribe That's how you do it, Sophie, that's your vibe Now you and Barber visit us in Rye Long-time friends, the years just fly But there's one thing that's kind of mad We share Barber for birthdays, ain't that sad? You showed me how to wine like Trini girls do From Liverpool to Tobago, something new Through all these years, the laughs ring true Happy forty, Sophie, here's to you You're the reason that we're laughing still From St. Helens pubs to Caribbean hills You're class through and through Happy forty, Sophie, this one's for you My birthday's just a few days after yours So Barber never makes it through my doors He's always with you, celebrating your day But one year he made mine, hip hip hooray! I've never been to yours for the same reason, mate Birthdays clash, that's just our fate But I'm sending love from up in Rye Forty years, Sophie, hold your head high From the Zoo Bar to that Caribbean sand You've always been there, understand Trinidad heat or Northern rain You and Barber, our mates, remain You showed me how to wine like Trini girls do From Liverpool to Tobago, something new Through all these years, the laughs ring true Happy forty, Sophie, here's to you You're the reason that we're laughing still From St. Helens pubs to Caribbean hills You're class through and through Happy forty, Sophie, this one's for you Too hot to tan, you'll never let me forget Trinidad adventures, no regrets From St. Helens to the Caribbean shore Sophie, here's to forty and so much more Boozy trips and jet ski days All the laughs in all the ways You're class through and through This one's for you
