Happy Birthday Songtext
Happy birthday
Happy birthday
How old are you?
How old are you?
I′m 32 and I have to lose 20 pounds to be
Attractive to the kind of person I want
This is the year I'm going to do it
Have you ever promised yourself that before?
How did you know? I′ve been on and off diet since I was 18
So you've been making and breaking the
Same resolution for more than a decade
Well, if you want to put it that way
Let's face facts, your approach doesn′t seem to be working
No matter how hard you struggle and strive
You′ll never get out of those shoes alive
Nowhere to run to, nowhere to hide
All you're gonna get is a ticket to ride
Happy birthday
Happy birthday
How old are you?
How old are you?
I′m 27 years old and I still don't know
How to assert myself and get what I want
I just never learned to be aggressive
You can get ahead by cooperating as well as by competing
The hell you can, it′s a jungle out there, kill or be killed
Lack of assertiveness can be a problem
It does not seem to be yours
Oh, Mr. Advice, I know what my problem is, I've had it my whole life
I understand perfectly
No matter how hard you struggle and strive
You′ll never get out of those shoes alive
Nowhere to run to, nowhere to hide
All you're gonna get is a ticket to ride
Happy birthday
Happy birthday
How old are you?
How old are you?
I'm 23 years old and all my friends tell me I′m talented
I want to be a really big television or recording star
Do you go out on auditions?
How can I? Who′s gonna look after my kid?
Can you hire a mother's helper?
Can′t afford it
How about a relative or a neighbor?
Oh, I just wouldn't feel right asking
Perhaps you expect a producer to drive up in a
Limousine and discover you at the local drugstore
Well, it has happened, you know
Frankly, my dear, this is nothing but fantasy
No matter how hard you struggle and strive
You′ll never get out of those shoes alive
Nowhere to run to, nowhere to hide
All you're gonna get is a ticket to ride
Happy birthday
Happy birthday
How old are you?
How old are you?
Where there′s will, there's a way
Where there's will, there′s a way
Where there′s will, there's a way
Where there′s will, there's a way
Where there′s will, there's a way
Where there′s will, there's a way
Where there's will, there′s a way
Where there′s will, there's a way
Happy birthday
