Happy Birthday
Gary Glitter Lyrics

Eleven fifty-nine
It's almost midnight and the singer is eagerly waiting for the clock to strike twelve

Almost time, one more minute to go
The singer is excited and anticipates what's going to happen as soon as it's the birthday

I can hardly wait, in this state, don't my feelings show

When you're old enough, ha, I do my stuff, till you beg for more

Now the time has come, have your fun, bang you come, give me some

Just you and though didn't know, days could be so long

Sticking to the roof like a fool, hanging on and on

I've got to give you such a happy birthday
