Happy Birthday in Minor Key Lyrics by Bill Bailey

2018

Happy Birthday. Happy Birthday
What a rhapsody of fear
Let's strum the harp of pointlessness
You survived another year
Each little candle a tiny death knell
A snickering footman, a tolling bell;
One for deception, and one for a crime
And one for a dream extinguished by time!
Our life's are brief shuffle down the gangplank of pain
'till we're just an old sponge cake left out in the rain
Stumbling to oblivion from embryo to ghost;
So let's charge our dirty glasses and raise a futile toast:
"To you, and your meaningless milestone of decay."
Happy Birthday. Happy Birthday
... like anybody cares
It's a lie, it's a lie, it's a lie, it's a lie!
It's a cake in the shape of a lie!
Why use that knife to cut the cake?
Why, here's the reaper scythe
Happy Birthday, Cheeky Chops
It's not every day you're five."
