It’s almost my birthday. Whatcha gonna get me? [Verse] I want a chocolate cake and a nice cup of coffee. I want a puppy, so small and so fluffy. I want to go to Maine, up to Acadia Or at least to escape Pennsylvania [Chorus] Oh, get me some tamales and a bottle of wine I am getting old now, running out of time So don’t mess around or wander away Didn’t you hear? It’s my birthday! [Verse] It’s not fair that things go so fast Watching the future turn into the past There’s really nothing you can do about that So buy me a jacket with a matching hat [Bridge] I’m not asking for much, I just want it all But since I can’t have it, I’ll take a call A kind word, a smile, a little something Or, ya know, a platinum diamond ring It’s okay, I know the truth, honey You and I, we don’t have the money At least we have this, at least we can dream While we sit back to enjoy some cake and ice cream Oh, get me some tacos and a bottle of beer I am getting old now, still sitting here So don’t mess around or wander away Didn’t you hear? It’s my birthday! Seriously, though, whatcha getting me?
