Текст песни The Birthday Song

What a special day

You are turning ten today

We've got balloons and party pies

And lots of pretty things

Look at all your friends

And the presents that they send

Your whole family is here

So everybody sing

Here comes the birthday cake

But before you make a wish

There's something your Aunty Gerry wants to say:

From this moment, everything's downhill

Double figures become a living hell

Before too long you will wake up to find you're dead

So if I were you, I'd quit while I'm ahead

I'd quit while I'm ahead

'Cos your body at fourteen

Is so much worse than Halloween

It changes shape and starts to leak

And makes you do mad thingsGeraldine Quinn - The Birthday Song - http://ru.motolyrics.com/geraldine-quinn/the-birthday-song-lyrics.html

Your twenties, they're okay

But from your thirties, you'll decay

Your joints and back and brains will go

Along with all your dreams

And as you reflect back on today

That kitten-shaped ice-cream cake

Will represent the hopeless and betray

'Cos from this moment, everything is fucked

The grown-up world and all the people in it suck

Your gran and grandpa left the Earth on the blink

And so to save you wasting money on a shrink

Choose an addiction now and retire to your bed

'Cos if I were you

Oh, if I were you, I'd quit while I'm ahead

I'd quit while I'm ahead

Happy birthday

Happy birthday

Happy birthday... to you

(Make a wish)
