Once a year we celebrate
|
With stupid hats and plastic plates
|
The fact that you were able to make
|
Another trip around the sun
|
|
And the whole clan gathers round
|
And gifts and laughter do abound
|
And we let out a joyful sound
|
And sing that stupid song
|
|
Happy birthday!
|
Now you're one year older
|
Happy birthday!
|
Your life still isn't over
|
Happy birthday!
|
You did not accomplish much
|
But you didn't die this year
|
I guess that's good enough
|
|
So let's drink to your fading health
|
And hope you don't remind yourself
|
your chance of finding fame and wealth
|
Decrease with every year
|
|
Does it feel like you're doing laps
|
And eating food and taking naps
|
And hoping that someday perhaps
|
Your life will hold some cheer
|
|
Happy birthday!
|
What have you done that matters?
|
Happy birthday!
|
You're starting to get fatter
|
Happy birthday!
|
It's downhill from now on
|
Try not to remind yourself
|
Your best years are all gone
|
|
If cryogenics were all free
|
Then you could live like Walt Disney
|
And live for all eternity
|
Inside a block of ice
|
|
But instead your time is set
|
This is the only life you get
|
And though it hasn't ended yet
|
Sometimes you wish it might
|
|
Happy birthday!
|
You wish you had more money
|
Happy birthday!
|
Your life's so sad it's funny
|
Happy birthday!
|
How much more can you take?
|
But your friends are hungry
|
So just cut the stupid cake
|
|
Happy birthday!
|
Happy birthday!
|
Happy birthday!
|
Happy birthday, dear...
