We've been friends for 30 years
And I'm not always the best at bringing you birthday cheer
In fact most years, I don't even get you a gift
Well this year I'm giving you an awesome guitar riff

That's a guitar riff, it also doubles as your birthday gift
It's your birthday gift, it also doubles as a guitar riff

Working together, we see a lot of each other
You might say it's almost like we're brothers
And just like family, we sometimes fight
And I'll admit that at least ten percent of the time, you are right

It's your birthday-ay-ay-ay, you're thirty-five
And that's halfway to seventy, and seventy's when you die
Seventy's when you die

So live it up, and do what you please
'Cause in ten years you're gonna have to replace both of your knees
Enjoy this here birthday song
'Cause in the overall scheme of things, brother you don't have long

It's your birthday-ay-ay-ay, you're thirty-five
And that's halfway to seventy, and seventy's when you'll die
Seventy's when you'll die
