Birthday
‘ve been banned from having birthdays
A new rule has been made
Signed ,sealed and delivered
By the local Fire Brigade!
They say that all those candles
Would create such a blaze
They’d have to come and put it out
And stay around for days !
So, I guess I’ll have to party
Without the birthday cake,
Perhaps I’ll light one candle
Just for old time’s sake ,
Those firemen ! So fit and strong,
Such handsome looking men –
Whose birthday is it ,anyway ?
Let’s light them all again !
