When I wake up
In the morning
I pour the coffee
Read the paper
Then I slowly
And so softly
Do the dishes
Feed the fishes

Sing me "Happy Birthday"
Sing it like it's going to be your last day
Like it's hallelujah
Don't just let it pass on through ya

It's a giant among cliches
And that's why I want you to sing it anyway
Sing me "Happy Birthday"
'Cause, hell, what's it all about
Anyway

Sing me "Happy Birthday," "Happy Birthday"
Like it's gonna be your last day
Here on Earth
