Lyrics

Birthday

Had a birthday yesterday, she cried

Took off her glasses, let her hair down and sighed

She told them all at work about her day

How is it no-one came? woe, woe

Took the invitations to her friends

They were too busy, doing other things

Told them all at work about her day

How is it no-one came? woe, woe

She took the decorations from the wall

It was the ladder loose that made her fall

She told them all at work about her day

How is it no-one came? woe, woe
