You’re only as old as you feel
Your mind has gotton smarter
But is your body hanging around?
Can I suggest that you don’t try to fight it
But if you could I’m sure you would
Exchange it or sell it
Replace it or fill it with youth cause
It’s your Birthday
Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday
To you
Verse 1
It’s YOUR Birthday
And your one year, from where you were
Do you long to look back, do you want to keep track
Is it all that you can do to keep your age out of the news?
Chorus
Verse 2
It’s YOUR Birthday
You’re the star of the show
Older than what you’ll have us know
Just how far have you come
Is the sun ahead of you or is it setting in the west
Did you do your very best this year
Will you pass that drivers test?
Go and get your eyes checked
Suck it in, shed a tear
Have some cake an’ take a shit, and get over it!
Chorus
Verse3
It’s YOUR Birthday
It’s your headach
But you can ease it with a pill
Last chance to grab a thrill
Pay the bill, bottoms up now don’t forget to wink
Let’s get some colour in those cheeks
An’ order us a round of drinks
We’ll sing this song and count the weeks
Before you bite it!
Chorus
