Lyrics

Verse 1
James — the name of kings and also this guy,
who microwaves fish in the office and won't say why,
six Jameses in every room, but there's only one true,
the birthday boy in the party hat — yeah, big man, that's you.
Chorus
Raise a glass for James, the classic, the OG,
five hundred years of royalty and he still replies "lol, ok",
another year of James is another year of gold,
the name won't ever get old, and neither will you — we're told.
Verse 2
Gives the best man speeches at weddings he barely knows,
owns one good jacket, wears it everywhere he goes,
but when it counts, when it really really counts,
James shows up with jumper cables and never keeps accounts.
Bridge
Kings get crowns, you get cake,
honestly, you got the better break.
Chorus
Raise a glass for James, the classic, the OG,
another year of James is another year of gold.
