Here's a chance to demonstrate
our gratitude to you on your birthday
On your birthday, give a bit of credit
where a lot of credit's due
On your birthday, on you birthday

We're grown-up people now
But still we say
It's you who showed us how
and let the way, and so we thank you
Auntie of reknown
and let you know that we shall never let you down

Who's the family relative
to whom we owe the most ?
It's our "Auntie", dearest "Auntie"
Ev'rybody rise and raise
your glasses in a toast
Here's to "Auntie"
here's to "Auntie"

History was in the making
when you came along
On your birthday, on your birthday
Fifty years of age today
and still you're going strong
On your birthday, on your birthday

Even though you're fifty years old
Your kids can see
you were great, you were great
So congratulations "Auntie"
akk the best and "cheers"
and we all say "happy birthday"
