My sweet sister was born in July
with left eye of amblyopia
Upon first glance I wanted to cry
Charisma of cornucopia
Curly blonde hair and infectious grin
with left eye of amblyopia
Sported small pink glasses for the win
Straightened that eye out like a bad ass
Curly blonde hair and infectious grin
Beat her high chair toy with focused sass
then laugh, and twirl her curly hair
Straightened that eye out like a bad ass
She slept standing up without a care
Blowing Birthday kisses on your day
Now laugh and twirl your curly hair
Infectious, delicious and bad ass
My sweet sister born in July
Today, she'll look you straight in the eye
My sweet sister born in JULY
Happy Birthday Bad ass xo
