[Spoken Intro] Seventeen years. A lot of questions. A lot of stories. And somehow… he still wants to know what’s around the corner. [Chant] SER-GI-O! Seventeen, here we go! SER-GI-O! Everybody make some noise! SER-GI-O! From the little kid we knew To the guy you’re turning into Tonight is all for you! [Verse 1 – Staccato] Church bells, clock tower, looking from the balcony Big eyes, questions, “Grandma, what could that sound be?” Walk in, Easter, everybody sitting quietly One trip, mystery solved Never asked again, apparently! Lights up, winter market, giant snow globe standing there Got the ticket, changed your mind “Nope, I’m not going in there” Walked away, came back again Still that snow globe caught your eye Grandma said, “Okay then But your dad and I are coming inside!” [Chant] SER-GI-O! Seventeen, here we go! SER-GI-O! Everybody make some noise! SER-GI-O! Always something left to see If there’s something going on That’s exactly where you’ll be! [Verse 2 – Driving] Fright Night, monsters Walking everywhere Everybody screaming You were standing there and staring No fear, all smiles You thought the whole thing was insane And once you found the roller coaster You went again, again, again! One more ride One more round Feet up high Back to the ground “Are we done?” Not a chance Put it on Let it dance! [Verse 3] Then your father said, “Come on, I’ve got something cool to show” Made it sound mysterious So of course you had to go Half an hour walking Wondering what you’d finally see Then there it was in all its glory… A clothing collection point. Seriously? [Break] Half an hour! For a clothing bin! Dad… You really got him with that one. [Chant] SER-GI-O! Seventeen, here we go! SER-GI-O! Yeah, you should’ve known! Questions, stories Everywhere you’ve been Sometimes something legendary Sometimes just… a clothing bin! [Verse 4 – Groove Change] Michael Jackson playing Little Sergio hit the floor Moving through the living room Like he’d done it all before Dad was watching, impressed Like, “Where’d you learn to move like that?” Beat drops, feet move Sergio was born for that Step left Step right Music on All night That groove That sound You owned that living room Like nobody else was around [Bridge] And now you’re seventeen Funny how the years can fly From the boy beneath that clock tower Always asking how and why Every ride and every story Every laugh along the way They’re the little pieces That brought us here today Keep that fire Keep that wonder Keep that thing that makes you you Go and find what’s round the corner There’s a whole world left to do [Final Chant] SER-GI-O! Seventeen, here we go! SER-GI-O! Everybody make some noise! From the church bell to the snow globe From the monsters to the rides Michael Jackson in the living room With your family by your side SER-GI-O! This one’s yours tonight Seventeen years behind you And your future looking bright SER-GI-O! One more time, let’s go! SER-GI-O! Happy birthday, Sergio! [Outro – Spoken] Seventeen. Keep asking questions. Keep taking the ride. And Sergio… If your dad says he has something amazing to show you… Maybe ask what it is first.
A SONG. A MEMORY. A KEEPSAKE.
