Happy Birthday

Happy birthday Johnny, my word, you’ve had a few
With candles lit for every year you’d need a fire crew
You’ve had a lot of cards this time, far more than in the past
Perhaps they’re feeling guilty or, think this may be your last
So happy birthday Johnny, fill your glass and have a beer
Happy birthday Johnny, let’s drink to one more year
