Lyrics

Intro

Big up, big up, Phyllis! (yah)

Boom-chick, boom-chick, clap your hand (clap, clap)

One more time — big up, big up, Phyllis! (woah)

Verse

Sunrise on the yard, we feel the breeze (feel it)

Rum in the cooler, laughing through the trees

Flowers on the table, music in the street

Everybody move your feet, feel the riddim sweet

Mama sayin' blessings, cousin bringin' cake

Neighbors cross the road just to celebrate

Phyllis in her crown, smile like summer day

All the drums say "lift her up" — come on, sway

Pre-chorus

Hands to the sky, let the good times roll (roll)

Pass the love around till it reach your soul (soul)

Sing it loud now, let the whole place know

Tonight we celebrate, oh-oh, we glow

Chorus

Happy Birthday, Phyllis, happy-happy, yeah (happy, happy)

Happy Birthday, Phyllis, light it up, we cheer (light it up)

Happy Birthday, Phyllis, dance till morning clear (dance, dance)

Happy Birthday, Phyllis, big love, big love, yeah (big love)

Verse

Sweet like sugar cane, laughter fill the air

Children run and play, wind play with Phyllis' hair

Old school on the speaker, horns cut through the night

Skank and step together under lamp light

Tell me one more story, make a wish, close your eyes

We sing out every chorus till the stars reply

From Kingston to the corner, we feel your name

Phyllis, you the reason we came — ahh (we came)

Bridge

Oh-oh, lift her up (lift her up), oh-oh, sing it proud (sing it proud)

Blessings on the road, let the joy ring loud (let it ring)

A little sway, a little clap (clap, clap), everybody now

Phyllis, feel the love — yes you know how

Chorus

Happy Birthday, Phyllis, happy-happy, yeah (happy, happy)

Happy Birthday, Phyllis, light it up, we cheer (light it up)

Happy Birthday, Phyllis, dance till morning clear (dance, dance)

Happy Birthday, Phyllis, big love, big love, yeah (big love)

Chorus

Happy Birthday, Phyllis, happy-happy, yeah (happy, happy)

Happy Birthday, Phyllis, light it up, we cheer (light it up)

Happy Birthday, Phyllis, dance till morning clear (dance, dance)

Happy Birthday, Phyllis, big love, big love, yeah (big love)
