Birthday Song

Lyrics

You can pick yourself up
 You can start walking straight
 Tonight you're the life of the party
 When the bar lights come on at your paper parade
 You don't have to chase down the moon
 'Cause I'll leave the light on for you
 It's not your birthday
 And it's not the fourth of July
 Tomorrow's a work day
 You've got a life and a spaceship to fly
 You've got a woman and a beautiful yellow-haired daughter
 Come back to earth, kid
 You know that you can't chase the stars underwater
 You can play all the notes
 You can write all the words
 You headlined in all the big cities
 But when the spotlights are off and the crowds have gone home
 You could be going home too
 It's not your birthday
 This isn't Mardi Gras either
 Tomorrow's a work day
 You've got a life and a spaceship to fly
 You've got a good job and a beautiful yellow-haired daughter
 Come back to earth, kid
 You know that you can't chase the stars underwater
 It's not your birthday
 You should be done waking up on the floor
 Come back to earth, kid
 Don't you know you're not a kid anymore?
 You married a good girl
 She gave you this beautiful yellow-haired daughter
 Come back to earth, kid
 You know that you can't chase the stars underwater
 ♪
 No, it's not your birthday
 It's not your birthday
 It's not your birthday
 It's not your day
 ♪
 So blow out your candles
 It's better than letting them burn out
