Well,
I know where you're going
and who's gonna meet you there.
I know how late you'll be coming home.
Guess who doesn't care?
Tonight I'll step up too,
and since I won't be here,
happy birthday,
merry Christmas,
and happy new year.
My best wishes may be early,
but I'm not sticking around
to bake a cake for your birthday while you're running around.
Oh, she'll help me celebrate,
and she'll bring me lots of cheer.
Happy birthday,
merry Christmas,
and happy new year.
Now I've made my mind up,
played second long enough.
You think I don't mean it,
so you're gonna call my bluff.
But I'll be busy packing while you're holding her near.
Happy birthday,
merry Christmas,
and happy new year.
