We wish you a happy birthday Eat your cake and have your fill Take a nap and try to downplay The fact that you’re now over the hill Sometimes your blood pressure rises And you start to feel real low But this is not your Midlife crisis That already happened years ago Though you’re challenged by night driving And your back is wracked with pain But you’re a model of surviving Cause you can still walk without a cane Arthritis, rheumatism and gout Afflict your arms and legs and feet Plus it’s hard to find a boy scout When you need help crossing the street As your eyesight’s growing darker And your memory starts to fade You can still watch Bobby Barker Just turn up your hearing aid Though you’ve grown a little pudgy There’s no need to scream and shout You can still eat chocolate fudgies At least until your teeth fall out |
You stay strong throughout all Seasons Summer, Winter, Spring, and Fall And we know the many reasons B-12 shots and Geritol You take many medications All those drugs extent your life The childproof caps don’t try your patience You open them with a butcher knife Now that you face life at fifty With wrinkled skin and graying hair We still think it’s kind of nifty That you don’t need a power chair You deserve a life of leisures But you don’t want to be bored So join up with the other Geezers For BINGO games and Shuffleboard Your birthday cake has chocolate icing And it looks so very nice With candles numbering only nineteen Of course, that is only on one slice You have had so many birthdays And we wish you many more You have lived 18,262 days But it’s not like we’re keeping score So on this - your special birthday Celebrations all day long But if these lyrics rubbed the wrong way Know that Mr. Williams wrote this song. And he knows what he’s talking about! |
