Unhappy Birthday Lyrics
[Chorus]
I've come to wish you an unhappy birthday
I've come to wish you an unhappy birthday
Cause you're evil
And you lie
And if you should die
I may feel slightly sad
(But I won't cry)
Loved and lost
And some may say
When usually it's nothing
Surely you're happy
It should be this way?
[Verse 1]
I say "No, I'm gonna kill my dog"
And "May the lines sag, may the lines sag heavy and deep tonight"
[Chorus]
I've come to wish you an unhappy birthday
I've come to wish you an unhappy birthday
Cause you're evil
And you lie
And if you should die
I may feel slightly sad
(But I won't cry)
Loved and lost
And some may say
When usually it's Nothing
Surely you're happy
It should be this way?
I've come to wish you an unhappy birthday
I've come to wish you an unhappy birthday
Cause you're evil
And you lie
And if you should die
I may feel slightly sad
(But I won't cry)
Loved and lost
And some may say
When usually it's nothing
Surely you're happy
It should be this way?
[Verse 1]
I say "No, I'm gonna kill my dog"
And "May the lines sag, may the lines sag heavy and deep tonight"
[Chorus]
I've come to wish you an unhappy birthday
I've come to wish you an unhappy birthday
Cause you're evil
And you lie
And if you should die
I may feel slightly sad
(But I won't cry)
Loved and lost
And some may say
When usually it's Nothing
Surely you're happy
It should be this way?
[Verse 2]
I said "No"
And then I shot myself
So, drink, drink, drink
And be ill tonight
[Outro]
From the one you left behind
From the one you left behind
From the one you left behind
From the one you left behind
