George's 21st Birthday
He’s king of Royal Portbury
Though sometimes down in ‘Mouth
He’s earned a reputation
He’s known from North to South
From lowly new apprentice
He’s climbed each ladder rung
Became a full-time operative
When he was still quite young
For sitting on his backside
This boy has got no use
He’s moved up to an office
In charge of import juice
Our George is rather special
He stands out from the crowd
His Grandma always knew that he
Would do his family proud
We know he’s headed for the top
Though only just begun
And who would guess this rising star
Is only twenty-one.
