You say it's your birthday?
Well, I do declare!
I had no idea my friend
I wasn't even aware!

We need to celebrate
Go out and have some fun
Paint the town a brilliant red
Stay out till the morning sun!

You look so young and beautiful
How many candles should I use?
I know it can't be many
How about twenty-two?

No way can you be that old!
My friend, you look just great!
Well Happy Birthday, you sweet thang!
From now on, I won't forget your birth date!
