| Happy, happy, oh my friend | |
| Blow out candles once again | |
| Leave the presents all inside | |
| Take my hand and let's take a ride | |
| Backwards down the number line | |
| You were eight and | |
| I was nine | |
| Do you know what happened then? | |
| Do you know why we're still friends? | |
| Laughing all these many years | |
| We've pushed through hardships, tasted tears | |
| Made a promise one to keep | |
| I can still recite it in my sleep | |
| Every time a birthday comes | |
| Call your friend and sing a song | |
| Or whisper it in to his ears | |
| Or write it down, just don't miss a year | |
| You decide what it contains | |
| How long it goes but this remains | |
| The only rule is it begins | |
| Happy, happy, oh my friend | |
| You decide what it contains | |
| How long it goes but this remains | |
| The only rule is it begins | |
| Happy, happy, oh my friend | |
| You decide what it contains | |
| How long it goes but this remains | |
| The only rule is it begins | |
| Happy, happy, oh my friend | |
| You decide what it contains | |
| How long it goes but this remains | |
| The only rule is it begins | |
| And when I see you coming down the line with eyes wide open | |
| Somewhere in between the passing future where you drift in time | |
| And you can see a different point of view | |
| You decide what it contains | |
| How long it goes but this remains | |
| The only rule is it begins | |
| Happy, happy, oh my friend | |
| You decide what it contains | |
| How long it goes but this remains | |
| The only rule is it begins | |
| Happy, happy, oh my friend | |
| You decide what it contains | |
| How long it goes but this remains | |
| The only rule is it begins | |
| Happy, happy, oh my friend | |
| You decide what it contains | |
| How long it goes but this remains | |
| The only rule is it begins | |
| Happy, happy, oh my friend | |
| You decide what it contains | |
| How long it goes but this remains | |
| The only rule is it begins | |
| Happy, happy, oh my friend | |
| You decide what it contains | |
| How long it goes but this remains | |
| The only rule is it begins |
