The Happy Birthday Song

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 sing me Happy Birthday
sing it like it's going to be your last day
like it's halleujah
don't just let it pass on through ya it's a giant among cliches
and thats 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
