oh, (that) baby, you look so tired

a full-grown baby

you're growin' so tired of growin' old

and how old are ya'?

and were you ever (really ?...baby ?)

there'll be a new Sun risin'

for another day's passin'

over your gray horizon 



today is the first day of the rest a' your life

time goes away

you've thought about checkin' out and don't deny it

time goes away

but if you really wanna can the music,

you better sleep on it

fill your life with the love or lose it,

like a' rock 'n roll music

no more agin' now

today you're gonna help celebrate Blackie's birthday

he's 22 today

it's Blackie's birthday

he's 22 today

so you're gonna get up

you're gonna wrap him up a big surprise

today is Blackie's birthday

and we'll sing happy birthday to you 



today is the first day of the rest a' your life

time goes away

you've thought about checkin' out and don't deny it, already tried it

time won't go away, no it won't

but if you really wanna can the music,

you better sleep on it

fill your life with the love or lose it,

like a' rock 'n roll music

no more agin' now for us

today Urge Overkill celebrates Blackie's birthday

so you're gonna get up
