Lyrics

Happy Birthday (Orchestral Version)

[Verse 1]

When I wake up

In the morning

Pour the coffee

Read the paper

Then I slowly

And so softly

I do the dishes

And I feed the fishes

[Chorus]

Sing me "Happy Birthday"

Sing it like it's going to be your last day

Like it's hallelujah

Don't just let it pass on through

[Verse 2]

It's a giant among cliches

But that's why I want you to sing it anyway

Just sing me "Happy Birthday"

Because, hell, what's it all about

Anyway?

[Chorus]

Sing me "Happy Birthday"

"Happy Birthday"

Like it's gonna be your last

It's gonna be your last day

Here on Earth

[Chorus]

Sing me "Happy Birthday"

"Happy Birthday"

Like it's gonna be your last day

Last day here on Earth
