The Happy Birthday Song Lyrics
by Andrew Bird
when I wake up
in the morning
I pour the coffee
read the paper
then I slowly
and so softly
do the dishes
feed the fishes
[ Lyrics from: http://www.cloverlyrics.com/e74710-andrew_bird~the_happy_birthday_song_lyrics.html ]
sing me Happy Birthday
sing it like it's going to be your last day
like its hallelujah
don't just let it pass on through ya
it's a giant among cliches
and that's why I want you to sing it anyway
sing me Happy Birthday
'cause hell what's it all about
anyway
sing me Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday
like it's gonna be your last day
here on earth
