Birthday Party

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

This hospital's got lots of crying kids

A minute ago, I did not exist

It's nice to finally meet my relatives

I bet it's always gonna stay this fun

I bet it's easy staying 'way from drugs

I bet our parents always stay in love

Always stay in love

Me, my, oh, what a life

So lean on, my people, gon' be stepping in time (wow)

Me, my, oh, what a life

So lean on, my people, gon' be stepping in time

So thank you

For coming to my birthday party

I am one minute old today

And everything is going great (oh)

Thank you

For coming to my birthday party

I am one minute old today

And my minute's been going great

And I hope it stays that way

I bet this Instagram's a load of fun

It's best to show the best of everyone

I bet it never bites us in the bum

I bet my ignorance is always bliss

Except ignoring pigment in our skin

I bet my country's nice to immigrants

And that's just how it is

Me, my, oh, what a life

So lean on my people, gon' be stepping in time (wow)

Me, my, oh, what a life

So lean on my people, gon' be stepping in time

So thank you

For coming to my birthday party

I am one minute old today

And everything is going great (oh)

Thank you

For coming to my birthday party

I am one minute old today

And my minute's been going great

And I hope it stays that way

In heaven, everything is fine

In heaven, everything is fine

You got your good things

And I've got mine

Heaven, everything is fine

In heaven, everything is fine

You got your good things

And I've got mine

Thank you (thank you)

For coming to my birthday party

I am one minute old today (one minute old today)

And everything is going great (I've got mine)

Thank you (thank you)

For coming to my birthday party

I am one minute old today (one minute old today)

And my minute's been going great

(And I hope it stays that way)

This hospital's got lots of crying kids

A minute ago, I did not exist

It's nice to finally meet my relatives

I bet I'll never outgrow all my friends

I bet I'll see a female president

Yeah, I can tell this life will be a cinch

And that's just how it is
