Happy birthday

Happy birthday Johnny, my word, you’ve had a few

With a candle lit for every year you’d need a fire crew

You’ve had a lot of cards this time, far more than in the past

Perhaps they’re feeling guilty or, think this could be your last

So happy birthday Johnny, fill your glass and have a beer

Happy birthday Johnny, let’s drink to one more year
