I couldn’t wait for this birthday of mine
Years have rolled by, so quickly passes time
The gifts are waiting in a pile on the floor
As more and more guests enter my door

Welcome! Welcome! You all come in
I’ve been here waiting, I say with a grin
My arms reached out for each hug received
As my growing anxiety now gets relieved

Soon around the table smiling we all sit
As the candles on my cake are all lit
And into laughing the smiles grow
As the candles keep lighting with their glow

Somebody here has played on me a trick
I’m going to have to blow hard and quick
Finally the re-igniting candles all stay out
I’m still young and strong I say with clout
