Lyrics

Happy Birthday John

Happy birthday John

Where has your sweetheart gone

She left you day with one week's pay and a boy she calls your son

Let's not wait for your invitation, pour yourself a drink

And think

About what happened

Happy birthday John

The warning lights were on

But you were far too gone

To notice what went wrong

Let's not wait for your invitation, pour yourself a drink

And think

About what happened

Happy birthday John

Where has your sweetheart gone

The warning signs were on

Well happy birthday John

Let's not wait for your invitation, pour yourself a drink

And think

About what happened

Let's not wait for your invitation, well pour yourself a drink

And think

About what happened
