It's your birthday, and you're not here

And it makes me want to shed a grouchy tear

'Cause on your day of birth, worm

I wish you were on Earth, worm

Instead you're high above

The atmosphere



Oh what can you do when your pet

Is as far away as he can get?

He's not in New Jersey, he's not in Cancun

He's on his way back from a trip to the moon



And I wanna say "Happy Birthday"

I wanna say it face to face

I wanna say "Happy Birthday" to Slimey

But he's out there in space



Oh what's a grouch supposed to do

When he's feelin' this lonely and blue?

I'm feelin' too sad to be grouchy and mean

With me and the moon, and my worm in between



'Cause I wanna say "Happy Birthday"

I wanna say it face to face

I wanna say "Happy Birthday" to Slimey

But he's out there in space

Oh yeah

He's out there in space

Oh dear
