It’s someone’s birthday today
Happy Birthday today!
Let’s fiesta, forget siesta
Come on, let’s party and play

It’s someone birthday tonight
Put your cares out of sight
No need to hurry, so what’s your worry?
Forget your troubles tonight

There’s one more candle on top of the cake than there was last year
But that’s just a little more light to add to your day
If one more candle is all that it takes to have a blast here
Let’s light it up and dance the night away!

You look so pretty (handsome) today
‘Cause it’s your birthday today
Shimmy, wiggle, get down, and giggle
Let’s make a circle and sway

You have your dreams for the coming years, the silver and gold ones
But for tonight, relax and have a good time
You have your friends around you here, some new, some old ones
Enjoy the moment! Everything is fine.

It’s someone’s birthday today
Celebrate all the way
Let’s fiesta, forget siesta
Come on, let’s party and play

Let’s celebrate
This hol-i-day…
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday to you!
