Thought I′d call you up an′ see if you had celebrated,
Day you were born: It′s a little belated.
Age is just a number an′ it′s really over-rated to me.
Yeah, November 3rd: that′s a day I remember,
′Cause its thirty-seven days after mine in September.
You′d thought I forgot ′cause here it is: December again.

Oh, happy birthday, baby, wanna to see you tonight.
I got your present waitin′, I wanna do it right.
I ain′t got enough money for a big diamond ring:
Let′s tie a brand new bow around the same old thing.

(Yeah.)
(Now blow out your candles.)
