Birthdays come but once a year
Happy birthday to you dear
That’s what all your good friends surely say
So why am I so blue
Here’s my tale of woe it’s true
My birthday’s on Christmas Day

I swear I’m not bitter or jaded
Just want to be celebrated
Stead of hearin bout some frozen fat guy’s sleigh
Why wasn’t I born in September
August or November
My birthday’s on Christmas Day

All I want is Happy Birthday To You one time
Would that really be such a terrible crime
Every year’s the same, I try to be jolly
But once again it’s Deck the Halls with Boughs of Holly

When your birthday’s happening
I’m sure it makes you smile and sing
Makes rainbows from a sky of gray
You get balloons and love
I get leaping lords and turtle doves
My birthday’s on Christmas Day
My birthday’s on Christmas Day

(lyrics: Dan Bern)
