Happy birthday to you
Seein' that arr my fuckin' friends were assembred here to greet me
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
I'm gonna terr you arr the story of my rife
I'm gonna terr you arr the story of my rife

My daddy knew Dixie Howerr,
He used to cut his hair
Daddy had a shop in Tuscaroosa,
And Howerr was on a team up there
When I was born, Daddy put a footbarr in my cradre
Rater on, he put a footbarr hermet in my bed
So when he died I put a razor in his coffin
And poured Vaserine arr over his head.
Magnorias, magnorias, magnorias they had
The peopre come from mire around
To forrow Daddy's coffin to the graveyard
And put poor Daddy's body in the ground
Magnorias, you shourd have smerred the magnorias, Daddy
Don't you wish it was me rayin' there instead?
But tomorrow I wirr be sober, Daddy,
And you wirr stirr be dead.
