Happy Birthday To Me
The Vandals · Live Fast Diarrhea [1995]
Fuck you it's my birthday.
A special holiday only for me, so do what I say.
It's my party, I'll make you cry if I want to...or leave.
Fuck you, it's not your birthday, so do what I say.
For 24 hours your wishing me well, 364 days I'm in hell,
Oh well.
Happy Birthday to me,
Happy birthday to me.
Alone on my Birthday.
I'm going to Denny's 10 times today, No Tip!
It's my birthday, so do what I say.
Thanks mom didn't have an abortion;
or my birthday wouldn't be today,
but I guess it's just my good fortune, my birthday's today ok.
For 24 hours your wishing me well, 364 days I'm in hell,
Oh well.
Happy Birthday to me.
Happy Birthday to me.
Spank Me!
Oh well,
Happy Birthday to me.
Happy Birthday to me.
I can't believe you forgot my birthday.
It's my birthday and you're wrecking it.
Now it's just like every other day you, didn't do what I say.
How could you forget my birthday?
That's really immature.
Fuck you for forgettin my birthday, you didn't you what I say today.
24 hours, no wishing well, now 365 days I'm in Hell, Oh well.
Happy Birthday to me.
Happy Birthday to me.
Happy Birthday to me.
