Loudon Wainwright III - Five Years Old lyrics
Your rating:
CHORUS: Happy birthday Martha, happy birthday, birthday girl I'm sorry I can't be there for that party, birthday girl But pin the tail upon the donkey in that party dress Balloons, and cake, 2 kinds of ice cream I guess you'll be a mess Five years old, Five years old Five years old, Five years old Be nice to all your pals, and cousins Remember they're your guests Share the fun with your big brother As friends go, he's your best I know that they'll sing happy birthday When those lights go out Make a wish it just might come true Blow those candles out Five years old, Five years old Five years old, Five years old I Hope yo get the gifts you wanted On your special day The pet store was all out of ponies Maybe next birthday I know you can not play with flowers They're nice to smell and see But if you got some roses on your birthday They're from me I won't forget the day that you were born Five years ago We were happy and excited and we loved you so You're growing up so quickly Now, I feel a little sad, after all I am your daddy Five years old, Five years old Five years old, Five years old (Chorus)
