Happy Birthday Swing

Intro

(Skattin') da-da-da, doo-wap, hey-ya, hey

Snap snap, trumpet (wah!) — oo-ooh, oo-ooh

Verse

Candles in a circle, candlelight glow

We got velvet cake and a pocket full of notes, uh-huh

Sax in the corner, piano keeps it low

Tap your shoes, swing the room, let the good times roll, yeah

Pre-chorus

Make a little wish, blow it like you know how (blow it)

Footsteps on the floor, take a little bow (take it)

Everybody smiling, clap once, clap twice

Tonight's for you — and the feeling's nice, so nice

Chorus

Happy birthday, happy birthday, sing it out, sing it out (sing it)

Happy birthday, happy birthday, clap your hands, shout, shout

Happy birthday, happy birthday, sway with me, sway with me

Happy birthday, happy birthday — yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Verse

Confetti on your shoulders, confetti in your hair

Old friends, new songs, and the band is in the air (skrrt)

Cool cool cool — we're stepping through the night

Curved smiles, bright eyes, everything's alright

Bridge

One more chorus, louder now (louder)

Take that wish, make it proud (make it proud)

Ooh-la-la, doo-be-doo, hands in the sky

This is your rhythm — let it fly, let it fly

Chorus

Happy birthday, happy birthday, sing it out, sing it out (sing it)

Happy birthday, happy birthday, clap your hands, shout, shout

Happy birthday, happy birthday, sway with me, sway with me

Happy birthday, happy birthday — yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Outro

(Skat) sha-ba-da, sha-ba-da, oo-oo, la-la

Woo — candle light fades, we hum the tune, hum the tune

(La-la) da-da-da, doo-wop — night goes soft, night goes bright

Happy birthday, my friend — swing on through the night
