Artist/Band: Replacements
Lyrics for Song: Birthday Gal
Lyrics for Album: All for Nothing/Nothing for All [1997]



Wax is dripping from the frosting on the cake

Come on girl, buckle up, and don't hesitate

Take a deep breath and blow 'em all away



We sang off-key and all the dishes china-blue

Remember, don't tell a soul, that wish, it won't come true

Hey sad face on your lucky day



Birthday gal, did you wish yet?

Can you handle the turn? The candles are burnin' low

Birthday gal, did you wish that...

There weren't quite as many candles that you had to blow?



Hair falls down all around the eyes that close

She might wear them earrings but she won't wear the clothes

Oh, hang 'em up with all the ones that don't fit no more



I thought this was a party, so come on let's lighten up

No one gets a slice until we make the first cut

No, we'll leave the lights down, she's ready now and this is here



Birthday gal, did you wish yet?

Can you handle the turn? The candles are burnin' low

Birthday gal, did you wish that...

There weren't quite as many candles that you had to blow?



Birthday gal, did you wish yet?

Can you handle the turn? The candles are burnin' low

Birthday gal, did you wish that...

There weren't quite as many candles that you had to blow?



Make a wish, make a wish...


Birthday Gal

As part of their extensive catalogue, the song stands alongside other notable recordings from their later years, showcasing the distinct vocal delivery and guitar textures that defined their sound.
