You folksingers of En-ger-land
I'll have you all to know
Today, it is the birthday
Of a singer called Pete Coe

He is a Great Musician,
If not the best alive ,
And we were both at Sidmouth,
In Nineteen Sixty Five !

Now old Pete Coe is a clever bird he can dance as he sings
And his flying feet never miss a beat as he strums his bouzouki strings.
But don't ask him for "The Loco Fireman" , not today for pity's sake
Cos he won't have enough puff for the candles
On his birthday cake

But younger than me by quite a way
But I still can wish him A HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

F.G.B. K.H.Y. All the way back to the Painter's Arms in fact. Even better now he's older and lightened up a bit. Many happy returns from the Coseley connections !

Lightened up?? He has a reputation to maintain, you know. Here's to one of the most constantly creative individuals on the scene - and a curmudgeon of integrity!

Nice one, Tom! That last phrase is just crying out to be sung (to the tune of Joseph Baker of course):

A curmudgeon of integrity
We raise a glass to cheer
And wish him happy birthdays
For many another year

Happy Birthday mate- keep on rolling down the Ryburn:

A curmudgeon of integrity,a reputation to maintain,
Although he's heading homeward,he'll see you all another day,
For the road that lies before him leads across the pennine way,
And he's still rolling down the Ryburn in the morning

Here's to good old Pete
Came here from a far land;
Many on 'em, me old mate,
From all at Yorkshire Garland.
