Lyrics
Happy Birthday
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.
Happy Birtday you're eighteen.
The only thing that means
Is you're old enough to strip.
Still too young to have a grip
On the high cost of each dollar,
The impact of your father,
On every shitty guy you date.
Every piss-poor decision you'll make.
She's taking all her notes in pencil
They tend to contradict themselves
And half of what they say...
She's learning that rules can't bend that way.
They say you measure a man
By the way he stands.
Could you kick those heels off, baby,
And still walk tall?
She's staying up, she's working hard for the money tonight.
(Hard for the money tonight)
She's learning all that life can give and take away.
She's staying up, she's working hard for the money tonight.
(Hard for the money tonight)
She's learning all that life can give and take away.
Pretty Miss Mary Mary, quite contrary.
You won't stay this pretty forever
(No you won't, no you won't)
Because Miss Mary Mary, things will get hairy
Drug habits make it hard to keep a body together.
They say you measure a man
By the way he stands.
Could you kick those heels off, baby,
And still walk tall?
She's staying up, she's working hard for the money tonight.
(Hard for the money tonight)
She's learning all that life can give and take away.
She's staying up, she's working hard for the money tonight.
(Hard for the money tonight)
She's learning all that life can give and take away.
Ohhhh, ohhh. Ohhohohohoh, ohohohoh~~

Still too young to have a...
