Lyrics
The Birthday Song
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 is a song that I wrote you for your birthday
Because I couldn't be bothered to buy you anything
And I know that you might think that writing this song required more effort
than going out and buying you something
but I can promise that it didn't
I'm not even going to include your name in this song
Because that way I can use it on somebody else
And if you listen closely then you might be able to tell
That I only bothered using three chords
I guess that just shows you how much I care
Happy birthday insert name here
Congratulations on living another year
Only joking I did get you something
And it's right here
