Happy Birthday

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Break]

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

[Verse 3]

But 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

And just blow out the candles, happy birthday

[Outro]

Happy birthday

It’s your birthday, Peter

Never looked so good

I wonder what this birthday stuff really means?

I mean, it’s my birthday too

Do I really have to act like a grown-up now?

Hold up my end of the conversation?

Have opinions?

Oh no, maybe I can hold off one more year for those

Well I guess, maybe I better make a wish

All these candles out in front of me

Let’s see, what should i wish?

I wish...I wish that everyone--no

I wish for one very, very large, big...I wish--no, no, no

I wish that my mother would finally--no, no, no

Happy birthday

I wish...hmm...I wish--

I wish for all the people in the world

To finally come together as one large birthday cake

And I could eat them all up
