Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I've come to wish you an unhappy birthday
I've come to wish you an unhappy birthday
'Cause you're evil and you lie
And if you should die, I may feel slightly sad
But I won't cry
[Verse 2]
Loved and lost and some may say
When usually it's nothing, surely you're happy it should be this way
I say no, I'm gonna kill my dog
May the lines sag, the lines sag heavy and deep tonight
[Verse 3]
I've come to wish you an unhappy birthday
I've come to wish you an unhappy birthday
'Cause you're evil and you lie
And if you should die, I may feel slightly sad
But I won't cry
[Verse 4]
Loved and lost and some may say
When usually it's nothing, surely you're happy it should be this way
I said no and then I shot myself
So drink, drink, drink and be ill tonight
[Verse 5]
From the one you left behind
From the one you left behind
From the one you left behind
From the one you left behind
[Verse 6]
Behind, behind, behind, behind
Behind, behind, oh
Unhappy birthday
Behind, behind, behind
