Intro: G C D G
G
Once a year we celebrate
G
With stupid hats and plastic plates
G
The fact that you were able to make
C D G
Another trip around the sun
G
And the whole clan gathers round
G
And gifts and laughter do abound
G
And we let out a joyful sound
C D G
And sing that stupid song
Chorus:
G C G
Happy birthday Now you're one year older
G C G
Happy birthday Your life still isn't over
G C G
Happy birthday You did not accomplish much
G
But you didn't die this year
C D G G C D G
I guess that's good enough
G
So let's drink to your fading health
G
And hope you don't remind yourself
G
The chance of finding fame and wealth
C D G
Decrease with every year
G
Does it feel like you're doing laps
G
And eating food and taking naps
G
And hoping that someday perhaps
C D G
Your life will hold some cheer
Chorus:
G C G
Happy birthday What have you done that matters
G C G
Happy birthday You're starting to get fatter
G C G
Happy birthday It's downhill from now on
G
Try not to remind yourself
C D G G C D G
Your best years are all gone
G
If cryogenics were all free
G
Then you could live like Walt Disney
G
And live for all eternity
C D G
Inside a block of ice
G
But instead your time is set
G
This is the only life you get
G
And though it hasn't ended yet
C D G
Sometimes you wish it might
Chorus:
G C G
Happy birthday You wish you had more money
G C G
Happy birthday Your life's so sad it's funny
G C G
Happy birthday How much more can you take
G
But your friends are hungry
C D G G C D G
So just cut the stupid cake
Outro:
G A7

Happy birthday to you
