Today Is Your Birthday
Today is Your Birthday

Today is your birthday
So please celebrate
Hope your moving is finished
of your home goods and freight
Hope you're making some time
and you're happy to see
these great birthday greetings
from your mother and me
We're really quite proud
of the woman we raised
Sing your praises loud
Though we're a little bit crazed
Can't figure out
How you're older than us
but we're glad that you made it
And won't make a fuss
We won't ask you questions
won't ask your advice
Have a wonderful birthday
We hope it's real nice
Love from mom and dad
on this day of your birth
It's a much better place
with you here on this earth.
