[SHELDON, spoken]
\nHoly smoke
\n
\n[HARRY BOGEN, spoken]
\nYes, Sheldon, holy smoke
\nYour first year's tuition at college
\n
\n[SHELDON, spoken]
\nMr. Bogen, thank you
\n
\n[HARRY BOGEN, spoken]
\nJust remember
\n(sung)
\nThese gifts are just a token
\nOf bigger ones unspoken
\nFrom every loving relative and friend
\n
\n[MEYER BUSHKIN]
\nGifts, we wish you very much
\nThings you cannot wear or touch
\nOr tell time with, or write with, or spend
\n
\n[HARRY BOGEN & MEYER BUSHKIN]
\nIf we could have the power to raise a wand on high
\nCommend for you a gift today
\nWealth, we wouldn't wish you
\nOr things that gold can buy
\nWhat money makes, money takes away
\n
\n[HARRY BOGEN, MEYER BUSHKIN, & TEDDY ASCH]
\nWе'd commend you something special
\nGrand and worthy of this day
\n
\n[BLANCHE BUSHKIN]
\nThе gift that I would grant you
\nIs one you'd never trade for glory or success
\nOr fame
\nYour own good name
\n
\n[BLANCHE BUSHKIN, MRS. BOGEN, & RUTHIE RIVKIN]
\nYes, your own good name
\nWe'd commend you something special
\nGrand and worthy of this day
\n
\n[TEDDY ASCH]
\nThe gift that I would grant you is when you need a friend
\nYou'll find one half as good and true
\nAs you know who
\n
\n[ENSEMBLE]
\nAs we all know who
\nWe'd commend you something special
\nGrand and worthy of this day
\n
\n[RUTHIE RIVKIN]
\nThe gift that I would grant you is when you meet the one
\nThe one you'll love your whole life through
\nShe'll love you too
\nLike she's loved by you
\n
\n[ENSEMBLE]
\nIf we could have the power to raise a wand on high
\nCommend for you a gift today
\nWealth, we wouldn't wish you
\nOr things that gold can buy
\nWhat money makes, money takes away
\nHappy birthday, thirteenth birthday
\nFrom the ones that love you so
\n
\n[BLANCHE BUSHKIN]
\nGoodbye to childish things now
\nTo boyish thoughts and ways
\nMay love bless every day you know
\nTo a boy, farewell
\nTo a man, hello
\n
\n[ENSEMBLE]
\nTo a man, hello\n\n
