Since I just celebrated my birthday last week, the lyric I’ve chosen this week is not the classic Happy Birthday To You by the Hill Sisters. What “birthday” song do you think should replace the standard tune?
Enjoy Birthday by The Beatles (from 1968’s The Beatles (White Album)).
They say it’s your birthday
Well, it’s my birthday too, yeah
They say it’s your birthday
We’re gonna have a good time
I’m glad it’s your birthday
Happy birthday to you
(One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight!)
Yes, we’re going to a party, party
Yes, we’re going to a party, party
Yes, we’re going to a party, party
I would like you to dance (birthday)
Take a cha-cha-cha-chance (birthday)
I would like you to dance (birthday)
Dance, yeah
Whoo
Come on
I would like you to dance (birthday)
Take a cha-cha-cha-chance (birthday)
I would like you to dance (birthday)
Whoo, dance, dance
They say it’s your birthday
Well, it’s my birthday too, yeah
They say it’s your birthday
We’re gonna have a good time
I’m glad it’s your birthday
Happy birthday to you
