[Verse 1] You walked in late with that birthday grin, A little cake on your jacket sleeve. You say you're grown, but I know that look— You still make trouble just to make us believe. [Chorus] Happy birthday, darling, take your sweet time, Make a wish and let the good years roll. You're a first-class friend with a mischievous shine, And tonight we're raising a glass to your soul. [Verse 2] Your friends all came with their stories ready, There's one about that dance you swore you never did. You can deny it, but the room remembers— Come on, birthday star, don't play so innocent. [Chorus] Happy birthday, darling, take your sweet time, Make a wish and let the good years roll. You're a first-class friend with a mischievous shine, And tonight we're raising a glass to your soul. [Bridge] May your coffee be strong, your plans come true, May your cake have frosting enough for two. Keep that wink and that generous heart, You get more delightful with every new start. [Final Chorus] Happy birthday, darling, take your sweet time, Make a wish and let the good years roll. You're a first-class friend with a mischievous shine, And tonight we're raising a glass to your soul. [Outro] Blow those candles, make us all behave— Well, at least until you cut the cake.
