But we managed to get through that year,
and the next year you moved down the street from me,
you bought me a puppy, (NAME), for my birthday,
and truly, that was the best gift there ever will be.
And I also wanted to Happy 80th Birthday,
I guess that's really what these words are for,
here's to you, (NAME), grandmother, you're truly wonderful,
and here's to at least another eighty more!
Hello, (NAME),
it?s OK, I?ll avoid the obvious rhyme,
we?re all here to celebrate your birthday,
and with apologies to MC Hammer, it's now "Tucker Time".
And I just wanted to say Happy 27th Birthday
I guess that's really what these words are for,
here's to you, (NAME), you're truly wonderful,
and here's to our everlasting love, for evermore.
Actually, he said he'd rather have a boat than this party,
but I know that's not true, as he's such a sensitive soul,
and I just wanted to say: "(NAME), I love you",
you are the one that makes me completely whole.
We'll never forget (NAME) and (NAME) boxing in the backyard,
that was the same backyard where I helped to rake the leaves,
we went shopping and then onto lunch for my birthday,
these are the moments for which my heart grieves.
Grandpa popped in and said "Hi" by the way,
and to be honest, I don't think it was in a dream,
he knows that you'll both look after me,
and he says he likes my room and the nautical theme.
And I did just want to say (NAME) Happy 40th Birthday,
I'm so looking forward to the future and our time together,
but in the meantime, just know that you have our love,
and I know that love will last eternally, forever and ever.
I know what she really wants for her birthday,
and I really think father should have another look,
because surely it's time for the kitchen of her dreams,
even though, according to him, she doesn't cook !
He's also a lot of a party animal too,
so I reckon tonight could last until daybreak,
but then again, where are the Irish policewomen?
Hello, hello, hello, enough of that, for goodness sake.
Today, I was supposed to celebrate my birthday,
but foolishly, I called Squirt just a little too late,
and then my life started spinning out of control,
I was on a rollercoaster, in the twists and turns of fate.
Mind you, Dad worked at his Kraft for 45 years,
and at his retirement party, he received many an accolade,
all his colleagues just wanted to thank him,
but we too wanted to thank him for the role that he's played.
I'd also like to say Happy 75th Birthday,
I guess that's really what these words are for,
here's to you, <NAME>, you're truly wonderful,
and here's to our everlasting love, for evermore.
She also taught me how to shop for and cook spaghetti and meatballs,
she took me to the Feather Club for dinner and dancing on my birthday,
she always knew what you needed and it was often very simple,
and that one line leaves so much left to say:
I remember the time when Andrea got caught smoking,
I also remember the time when she changed her lock,
she got fed up with me always borrowing her shoes,
and yes, I'll admit to borrowing the odd party frock.
And we know you just wanted to go to Las Vegas,
you didn't really want a party, let alone a cake,
but we wanted to say "thank you" in a special way,
so here's another clue, let's call it a wake.
And I just wanted to say Happy 60th Birthday,
I guess that's really what these words are for,
here's to you, (NAME), you're truly wonderful,
and here's to our everlasting love, for evermore.
For a common theme that applies to all religions,
is do good to others if you want to grow,
and I know that is the way to live,
and in the end I?m happy if that?s all I know.
So Happy 75th Birthday,
That's really what these words are for,
here's to you, (NAME), you're truly wonderful,
and here's to our love, for evermore.
From Switzerland to far flung Australia,
we certainly cover the corners of this Earth,
but (NAME) is so fun loving, the life and soul of many a party,
and she's certainly proved her true and honest worth.
So thanks to you, my wonderful husband, our kind father.
Happy Fortieth Birthday, (that's what these words are for).
Here's to you, our shining star, our guiding light
and here's to at least another forty more!
I remember the time she woke me up by yelling,
she knew that a lay in bed was something that I would like,
she was screaming at me to get my stuff off the porch,
but when I got there, there was my brand new birthday bike.
So I think we'll finish by saying Happy 60th Birthday,
I guess that's really what these words are for,
here's to you, Dad, you're truly wonderful,
and here's to staying a big kid, for evermore.
It's just our way of saying "Happy 60th Birthday",
I guess that's really what these words are for,
here's to you, Mom, you're truly wonderful,
and here's to cruising through life, for evermore.
However, it wasn't shining so brightly on your birthday,
if I recall (you won't remember), you were twenty one,
so wasted, you had to be carried up the stairs by a friend,
that night, certainly, your drinking days were done.
(NAME) was my 18th birthday present from his room-mate,
on the card, it said "too big to wrap, but I know you'll love him",
and the following day I told my parents I would marry (NAME),
and now I can say, 39 glorious years later, that was no teenage whim.
Of course, you made sure that (NAME) had a "happy birthday",
but then my whole future shone up in those romantic lights,
and after that, we, I mean you, began the wedding planning,
and that eventuated in one of the world's greatest nights.
I also wanted to say "Happy Birthday",
but there's a few other words that need to be said,
because I know I'm a hot tempered guy,
and some times my tongue gets easily led.
So, we just wanted to say thank you,
that's really what these words are for,
Happy Birthday Mom, thanks for the moments,
and here's to sharing many, many more.
