Celebrate
Dad, I celebrate with you today
I sing and cheer, hip, hip hooray
Today is your birthday
The years go by, they do not delay.
But don't worry, dear Dad
Don't fret, or be sad
Celebrate and have some fun
The day will soon be done.
And then you will start another year
Maybe at that age, you will fear.
All joking aside, I wish you well
As a Dad, I think you're swell.
