"Birthday" Lyrics

by John Lennon and Paul McCartney

As Released by the Beatles (1968)

You say it's your birthday
Well, it's my birthday too - yeah.
They say it's your birthday
We're gonna have a good time.
I'm glad it's your birthday
Happy birthday to you.

(... Four, five, six, seven, eight!)

Yes, we're going to a party, party
Yes, we're going to a party, party
Yes, we're going to a party, party.

I would like you to dance (birthday)
Take a cha-cha-cha chance (birthday)
I would like you to dance (birthday)
Dance! (dance!) (yeah)

(Wuh oh)

I would like you to dance (birthday)
Take a cha-cha-cha chance (birthday)
I would like you to dance (birthday) (wuh)
Dance! (dance!)

You say it's your birthday
Well, it's my birthday too - yeah.
You say it's your birthday
We're gonna have a good time.
I'm glad it's your birthday
Happy birthday to you.
