Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Happy birthday, happy birthday
Happy birthday, happy birthday
Happy birthday, happy birthday
[Verse 2]
Happy, happy birthday in a hot bath
To those nice, nice nights
I remember always, always
I got such a fright
[Verse 3]
Seeing them in my dark cupboard
With my great big cake
[Verse 4]
If they were me
If they were me
And I was you
And I was you
If they were me
If they were me
And I was you
And I was you
[Verse 5]
If they were me and I was you
Would you like a present too?
[Verse 6]
Happy, happy birthday in a hot bath
To those nice, nice nights
I remember always, always
I got such a fright
[Verse 7]
Seeing them in my dark cupboard
With my great big cake
[Verse 8]
If they were me
If they were me
And I was you
And I was you
If they were me
If they were me
And I was you
And I was you
[Verse 9]
If they were me and I was you
Would you like a present too?
[Verse 10]
Happy birthday, happy birthday
Happy birthday, happy birthday
Happy birthday, happy birthday
Happy birthday, happy birthday
[Verse 11]
Happy birthday, happy birthday
Happy birthday, happy birthday
Happy birthday, happy birthday
Happy birthday, happy birthday
Happy birthday, happy birthday
