Bobby Caputo - Happy Birthday Blues Lyrics

Happy Birthday to you
I know that song upsets you so, but once a year it's true
If you don't want a happy song even though it's overdue
Well here's your happy birthday blues
I remember last year you didn't even show your face
You slept all day, shut off the phone
Didn't want to celebrate
Well if you're gonna be that way I'll just have to make due
With these happy birthday blues
Another day older another dozen aches
When you turned 39, you banned all the birthday cakes
You think you can ignore it, but I know you can't escape
My calendar is circled on this date
So happy birthday, happy birthday to you
You've got presents in the closet from 1992
If you're not gonna be the birthday girl
We could still have a good time
And the only thing that ages is the wine
Happy birthday, we should be celebratin'
You know that time's gonna slip away
Even without you participatin'
Sure I respect your wishes, but I still gotta say
Have a happy birthday
