That day has come
When you have reached that age,
A special age in your life.
All those years in this world
Enjoying so many things,
To you Gordon I pay my respects,
My absolute respects.
A gentleman of honour
Who I have only known
For a very short time
In your life,
But a meeting that I have enjoyed.
So on this day,
This day of your eightieth birthday
I will raise a glass,
A glass of Laphroaig of course,
And wish you Happy Birthday
And hope for many more to come.
