Happy Birthday
“Weird Al” Yankovic Lyrics

Happy birthday
Celebratory greeting for your birthday

Happy birthday to you
Further congratulatory greeting for your birthday

Well, it's time to celebrate your birthday, it happens every year
The occasion of your birthday has come, as it does consistently at yearly intervals

We'll eat a lot of broccoli and drink a lot of beer
At this party, we'll consume large amounts of the healthy vegetable broccoli, as well as the alcoholic beverage beer

You should be good and happy that there's something you can eat
You should feel pleased that broccoli is being served, as it is a nutritious food option

A million people every day are starving in the street
There are millions of people worldwide who experience hunger on a daily basis

Your daddy's in the gutter with the wretched and the poor
Your paternal figure, likely your father, is in a impoverished state along with other destitute and indigent individuals

Your mama's in the kitchen with a can of Cycle Four
Your maternal figure, likely your mother, is in the kitchen holding a can of product Cycle Four

There's garbage in the water, there's poison in the sky
Pollution is prevalent in natural resources such as water, and the atmosphere contains hazardous substances

I guess it won't be long before we're all gonna die
It seems probable that everyone will soon pass away

Well, what's the matter, little friend, you think this party is the pits
What is troubling you, dear companion? Are you unsatisfied with this gathering?

Enjoy it while you can, we'll soon be blown to bits
Take pleasure in this experience while you are still able, for we are expected to be fragmented imminently

The monkeys in the pentagon are gonna cook our goose
The staff at the Pentagon are going to inflict serious harm upon us

Their finger's on the button, all they need is an excuse
The Pentagon officials are waiting for a reason to initiate a destructive action

It doesn't take a military genius to see
One does not require exceptional intelligence in military matters to recognize

We'll all be crispy critters after World War III
Following the occurrence of World War III, we will all be deceased and overcooked

There's nowhere you can run to, nowhere you can hide
There is no location you can flee to and avoid danger

When they drop the big one, we all get fried
If they release a significant weapon, we will all face a fiery fate

Come on boys and girls, sing along, okay
Everyone join in and sing with enthusiasm, alright?

Well, there's a punk in the alley and he's looking for a fight
An aggressive individual is present in the passageway, seeking conflict

There's an Arab on the corner buying everything in sight
A person of Middle Eastern descent is situated at the intersection, purchasing every object in view

There's a mother in the ghetto with another mouth to feed
A parent resides in the impoverished area with another dependent to care for

Seems that everywhere you look today there's misery and greed
At present, it appears that distress and the desire for material possessions are present all over

I guess you know the earth is gonna crash into the sun
It is presumed that our planet will collide with the sun

But that's no reason why we shouldn't have a little fun
Notwithstanding this information, there is no motive for us to refrain from amusing ourselves

So if you think it's scary, if it's more than you can take
If you find the situation to be frightening or overwhelming

Just blow out the candles and have a piece of cake
Simply extinguish the flames on the candles and consume a piece of delicious cake

Happy birthday
A joyous acknowledgment of your birthday

Happy birthday to you
Once again, a celebratory reference to your birthday

And a pinch to grow an inch
Additionally, a playful addition of seasoning to the festivities
