Lyrics

Verse 1
Ella, the greats already proved it —
that name was built for song,
two syllables of swing time,
the whole room hums along.
Chorus
Sing it, Ella, birthday girl, the light the old words meant,
every party you walk into suddenly makes sense,
scat the candles, skip the count, age is just a key change,
Ella, stay in rhythm — never, ever change.
Verse 2
You laugh in full crescendo,
you hug like a standing ovation,
you turn leftover Tuesdays
into a celebration.
Bridge
The first Ella sang it best, so we'll keep this part brief:
it don't mean a thing unless you're dancing with us, chief.
Chorus
Sing it, Ella, birthday girl, the light the old words meant,
Ella, stay in rhythm — this year's yours, go spend it.
