Its all of our birthdays this summer

One number older, another year younger

Ill go to your party, youll come to mine

Weve given up cigarettes, weve given up wine

Weve given up caffeine and sworn off desserts

I dont try to seduce you, we dont even flirt

Were too good to be happy, too straight to be sad

So just blow out the candles, happy birthday



Stay out of the ocean, stay out of the sun

Stay in perfect shape and be number one

Weve got brilliant excuses for having no fun

So blow out the candles, happy birthday



Make love in the microwave

Think of all the time youll save

And dont forget to make it look

As though youre working very very hard



But ill be your lover if you will be mine

Well go back to the garden and have a good time

And if im offered an apple, ill politely decline

And just blow out the candles

Happy birthday
