[Verse 1 – No name or gender yet]
There’s someone in the team who steps in with a smile,
With a job so mighty, you’d think they’ve trained for quite a while.
Keeping watch on rules and regs while humming on the way,
Like the office guardian angel… in an Ofcom kind of way.
They roll in every morning with a purpose iron-strong,
Helping keep the chaos tidy when the paperwork goes wrong.
When questions fly about telecoms, the answers land so fast—
You’d swear you’re talking face-to-face with a walking, talking 5G mast.
[Chorus – Still no name]
Ohhh, they cycle through the city like a rookie on the Tour,
Dreaming of a rugby pitch and always wanting more.
Kind by default, calm through it all—
Yeah, this person’s got the magic that can lift up every wall.
[Verse 2 – Still anonymous]
From opposite ends of the earth their home-life tale begins,
If either one starts digging, they might trade hemispheric winds.
Super helpful, super cheery, like an elf on Christmas Eve,
And joy just seems to follow them like tinsel on a sleeve.

[Bridge – Reveal + joining info now]
Now let’s talk straight, it’s time to name the star,
The legend joining GCRA soon, shining near and far…
It’s Michael Barthee, and he’s stepping into view,
Ready to watch the regulations like the nightwatchman would do!
[Chorus – With identity]
Michael rides his bike like he’s racing through the snow,
Then cheers on rugby matches like "Come on lads, let’s go!"
He’s helpful, warm, and brilliant—yes, Michael leads the way,
A kind-at-heart companion bringing sunshine every day.
[Final Verse]
He’s the elf of all the elves, with a grin that never quits,
The type who builds the vibe up while fixing other bits.
So here’s to Michael Barthee, raising spirits nice and high—
A regulator superhero with adventure in his eye.
[Outro]
So welcome to the family, to the festive, laughing crew,
Michael brings the kindness that shines bright the whole year through.
Here’s a cheer for him tonight beneath the party lights—
Our elf, our mast, our nightwatchman… making everything just right.
