From the recording Blue Leaf On A Green Tree
Lyrics
VERSE
It’s come that day of the year
You might think I would be excited
Guess I’m supposed to be delighted
Birthday party; festive atmosphere
VERSE
But if it seems I’m not having much fun
On this day, please let me say
That I’m not having a happy birthday
But I’m happy just to be having one
CHORUS
Yes, I’m happy to be having a birthday
It’s good to know another year I’ve survived
And it’s good to know that I’m still alive
So I’m happy to be having a birthday
VERSE
Laugh all you want, but I don’t think it’s funny
Who at my age wants to be a year older?
It hurts to cry on my only good shoulder
And I’m too old to spend all her money
Repeat CHORUS/SOLO/BRIDGE
I no longer have any friends my age
I outnumber them all by myself
Repeat CHORUS/SOLO/Repeat CHORUS/TAG
Yeah, I’m not happy because it’s my birthday
I’m just so happy to be having one
