The Funny Happy Birthday Song w/ Lyrics chords
Start Jamming...
[E] [D] [F#]
[G]
Once a year we [C] celebrate with stupid hats and [G] plastic plates
The fact that you were able to [C] make another trip [G] around the sun
And the whole clan gathers [C] round and gives some laughter, [G] do a bow
Then we let out a joyful [C] sound and sing that [G] stupid song Happy birthday!
[C] Now you're [G] one year older
Happy birthday!
Your life still isn't [Bm] over Happy birthday!
[C] You did not [G] accomplish much
But you didn't die this [C] year, I guess [G] that's good enough
[D] [C] [G]
So [Bm] let's drink to your fading [C] health and hope you [G] don't remind yourself
Your [Bm] chance of finding fame and [C] wealth decrease with [G] every year
Does it feel like you're doing [C] laps and [Gm] eating food and taking [G] naps
And [Bm] hoping that someday [C] perhaps your life will [G] hold some cheer?
Happy birthday!
What have you done that matters?
Happy birthday!
[C] You're starting [G] to get fatter Happy birthday!
[C] It's downhill [G] from now on
Try not to remind yourself your best years [D] are all [G] gone
[Cm] [G] If [Bm]
cryogenics were all [C] free then you could [G] live like Walt Disney
And live for all eternity [C] inside a [G] block of ice
[Bm] But instead your time is [C] set, this is the [D] only life you [G] get
And though it hasn't ended [C] yet, sometimes you [G] wish it might Happy birthday!
You wish you had more money Happy birthday!
[C] Your life's so [G] sad it's funny Happy birthday!
[C] How much more [G] can you take?
But your friends are hungry so [C] just cut the [G] stupid cake Happy birthday!
[A] Happy birthday!
Happy [C] birthday
[A] [D] [A] dear [C] Bill
