Happy Birthday Lyrics - Nick Cave & The Bad Seed

It's a very happy day 

We are at lots of fun fun fun 

And it's ice-cream and jelly 

and a punch in the belly 

How much can you throw over the walls? 

And see how his face glows 

It's a bike! What a surprise. 

It's a big bike. What a big surprise. 

It's a red bike. What a red surprise. 

Oh, what a surprise. 

But the best thing there 

But the best thing there 

Was the wonderful dog chair 

Was the beautiful dog chair 

That could count right up to ten 

It could count right up to ten 

It went woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, 

woof, woof, woof, woof, woof. 

And it's another happy day. 

He was born eleven years ago 

And this year it's long trousers 

and a very smart tie. 

Just think in five years he'll be shaving. 

And see how his face glows 

It's a bike. What a surprise! 

It's a samurai sword. 

What a metal surprise. 

He'll remember this day for the rest of his life. 

But the best thing there 

But the best thing there 

Is that fabulous dog chair 

The immaculate dog chair 

That could count right up to eleven 

It could count right up to eleven 

It went woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, 

woof, woof, woof. 

But the best thing there 

But the best thing there 

Was my darling the dog chair 

But the rampaging dog chair 

That could count right up to eleven 

It could count right up to eleven. 

And it went round and round the house.
