A Cake With Twenty-One Candles

There was a cake with twenty-one candles Waiting for a match to make them hot But his friends first took him to the neighborhood bar To feed him his twenty-one shots That cake with the twenty-one candles Held a light that would never be shown For they forgot to designate a driver To see that they safely got home The cake with the twenty-one candles No one would ever eat That knock on his parent’s front door Was from the fist of the local police The cake and its twenty-one candles Ended up in the kitchen trash Just one more fatality on the list Resulting from the single-car crash Please blow out your twenty-one candles When your day does finally come Having reached that milestone birthday Make sure it’s not your last one
