(No Intro) (Verse 1) No royalties, no lawyers in the room We’re singing loud, we’re chasing out the gloom From Louisville to the Hollywood screen The most expensive song you’ve ever seen Is finally free, yeah, it’s yours and mine Like a vintage bottle of birthday wine! (Chorus) Happy Birthday – now it’s legal to sing! Happy Birthday – let the freedom ring! No more fees for the cake and the light We’re celebrating all through the night! (Yeah, even with those expensive candles!) (Bridge) Whether you’re sweeping stairs or buttering your nose Whether you’re in your suit or your birthday clothes We raise a glass to another great year Völlig lizenzfrei – we’re glad you’re here! (Outro) Go shorty, it’s your day... And it didn’t cost us a cent! Happy Birthday!
