Unhappy Birthday lyrics

I've come to wish you an unhappy birthday

I've come to wish you an unhappy birthday

Because you're evil

And you lie

And if you should die

I may feel slightly sad

(But I won't cry!)

Loved and lost

and some may say:

"When usually it's Nothing

Surely you're happy

It should be this way?"

I say. "No, I'm gonna kill my dog

May the lines sag, may the lines sag heavy

And deep tonight"

I've come to wish you an unhappy birthday

I've come to wish you an unhappy birthday

Because you're evil

And you lie

And if you should die

I may feel slightly sad

(But I won't cry!)

Loved and lost

and some may say:

"When usually it's Nothing

Surely you're happy

It should be this way?"

I say. "No"

And then I shot myself

So drink, drink, drink

And be ill tonight

From the one you left behind

From the one you left behind

From the one you left behind

From the one you left behind

Behind, behind..

Oh unhappy birthday!
