Birthday Special

I've got something to say,

and it ain't the usual sob-story

that you hear every day,

I've got something to ask,

and I know that now's the time,

now all the rooms of the party are dark.

Proffer me the candy,

yes, I understand ees fine;

blow another candle out

and throw another line....

Birthday girl, I've got something for you,

there's ice in the cauldron, look out now;

birthday girl, here come a special

like Hansel and Gretel never had.

There's parrots in the pantry

and there's lizards in the loo

there's bloaters in the bathroom

and this party is a zoo;

I'm sitting in the kitchen

trying hard to talk to you

Birthday girl....

I just wanted to say

that I'd like to make this the happiest of your birthdays

and if that means turning the key

then I'll turn it with you and there'll be no doubt

about the way I agree,

Birthday girl....
