Happy
Happy birthday in a warm bath
Through those nice nice nights
I remember always
Always I got such a fright

If they were me, if they were me
And I was you, and I was you
If they were me and I was you
Would you liked a present too?

Happy birthday, happy birthday
Happy birthday, happy birthday

Happy
Happy birthday in a warm bath
Through those nice nice nights
I remember always
Always I got such a fright

If they were me, if they were me
And I was you, and I was you
If they were me and I was you
Would you like a present too?





Happy birthday, happy birthday
Happy birthday, happy birthday

Enjoy your birthday in a relaxing bath


Through those nice nice nights
Through all the good times we've had
