Happy happy oh my friend

Blow out candles once again

Leave the presents all inside

Take my hand and let's take a ride



Backwards down the number line

You were eight and I was nine

Do you know what happened then

Do you know why we're still friends



Laughing all these many years

We've pushed through hardships tasted tears

We made a promise one to keep

I can still recite it in my sleep



Every time a birthday comes

Call your friend and sing a song

Or whisper it in to his ears

Or write it down just don't miss a year



You decide what it contains

How long it goes

But this remains

The only rule is it begins

Happy happy oh my friend



You decide what it contains

How long it goes

But this remains

The only rule is it begins



And all my friends come

Backwards down the number line



All my friends come

Backwards down the number line



All my friends come

Backwards down the number line



All my friends



You decide what it contains

How long it goes

But this remains

The only rule is it begins

Happy happy oh my friend



You decide what it contains

How long it goes

But this remains

The only rule is it begins



And all my friends come

Backwards down the number line
