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
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 stick to your fading health and hope you don’t remind yourself
The 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 some day 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 To...
