Happy Birthday
Lyrics & Music by: Carly Simon
It's all of our birthdays this summer
One number older
Another year younger
I'll go to your party
You'll come to mine
We've given up cigarettes
We've given up wine
We've given up caffeine
And sworn off desserts
I don't try to seduce you
We don't even flirt
We're too good to be happy
Too straight to be sad
So just blow out the candles
Happy Birthday
Stay out of the ocean
Stay out of the sun
Stay in perfect shape
And be number one
We've got brilliant excuses
For having no fun
So just blow out the candles
Happy Birthday
Make love in the microwave
Think of all the time you'll save
And don't forget to make it look
As though you're working very, very hard
I'll be your lover if you will be mine
We'll go back to the garden
And have a good time
And if I'm offered an apple
I'll politely decline
So just blow out the candles
Happy Birthday
