This weekend I'm the birthday girl
You should indulge my every whim
Next weekend is our son's birthday
When that weekend revovles round him
I have a hair band for my hair
A tee-shirt with balloons to wear
A badge which shouts, they've let me out
So everyone knows I'm about
I mentioned birthday, when booking
Will they bring a lighted candle?
May I bring in a huge balloon
Or is that too much to handle?
I'll fuss about where I am sat
Will you dim lights and then march in?
Loan me a funny birthday hat?
Videos are ads, big win-win!
I'm wondering what I should bring
My phone will play happy birthday
Should my group sing, or will you sing?
A gift photo would make my day
They used to give free birthday cake
But nowdays we get one slice
Caterers save lots of money
If in the price, less fat is nice.
My name in chocolate on the plate
Whisper and give the host a wink
And free chocolates, that would be great
And free Champagne, or nightcap drink
Well, if you just leave us alone
I promise I shall not complain
I've chocolates and drink at home
But don't expect me back again.
