Happy Birthday Bathu Ammachi

Intro

Hee-ya, hey! (oh-oh)

Bathu Ammachi, hoyi ya, hoy!

Verse

The kitchen smells of cardamom and sugar, (mm)

Your laughter fills the room, we crowd and hover

Hands that tie the saree, hands that tell the tale

Grandkids on your knees, eyes wide, we set sail

You spin a thousand stories with a wink and a grin

Every scar a medal, every wrinkle, kin

We bring the cake, we light the flame — watch the magic start

Sing it now, sing it loud — straight from the heart

Pre-chorus

Say the name, clap your hands, (clap-clap)

Bring the love, stamp the dance, (stamp-stamp)

Ammachi, Ammachi — everybody to the floor

Ammachi, Ammachi — one more time, encore

Chorus

Happy birthday, Bathu Ammachi, happy birthday, Bathu Ammachi

Happy birthday, Bathu Ammachi, happy birthday, Bathu Ammachi (hey!)

Happy birthday, Bathu Ammachi, happy birthday, Bathu Ammachi

Happy birthday, Bathu Ammachi, happy birthday, Bathu Ammachi (yay!)

Verse

Gifts wrapped in bright paper, garlands in your hair

You pass the sweets around, teach us how to care

Your voice a lullaby that still makes the moon lean in

We dance in your shadow, we laugh at every sin

You keep our family strong like roots beneath the tree

Bathu Ammachi, your love's the place we all run free

Bridge

Raise your glasses, clap the floor — (clap-clap) oh-oh

Sing it louder, one and all — (sing, sing) hey!

Ammachi, your day, we crown you with the sun

Ammachi, our number one — hey, hey, hey!

Chorus

Happy birthday, Bathu Ammachi, happy birthday, Bathu Ammachi

Happy birthday, Bathu Ammachi, happy birthday, Bathu Ammachi (heyi ya)

Happy birthday, Bathu Ammachi, happy birthday, Bathu Ammachi

Happy birthday, Bathu Ammachi, happy birthday, Bathu Ammachi (alright!)
