(carly simon)
Its all of our birthdays this summer
One number older, another year younger
Ill go to your party, youll come to mine
Weve given up cigarettes, weve given up wine
Weve given up caffeine and sworn off desserts
I dont try to seduce you, we dont even flirt
Were too good to be happy, too straight to be sad
So just blow out the candles, happy birthday
Stay out of the ocean, stay out of the sun
Stay in perfect shape and be number one
Weve got brilliant excuses for having no fun
So blow out the candles, happy birthday
Make love in the microwave
Think of all the time youll save
And dont forget to make it look
As though youre working very very hard
But ill be your lover if you will be mine
Well go back to the garden and have a good time
And if im offered an apple, ill politely decline
And just blow out the candles
Happy birthday
