[SHELDON, spoken]
Holy smoke

[HARRY BOGEN, spoken]
Yes, Sheldon, holy smoke
Your first year's tuition at college

[SHELDON, spoken]
Mr. Bogen, thank you

[HARRY BOGEN, spoken]
Just remember
(sung)
These gifts are just a token
Of bigger ones unspoken
From every loving relative and friend

[MEYER BUSHKIN]
Gifts, we wish you very much
Things you cannot wear or touch
Or tell time with, or write with, or spend

[HARRY BOGEN & MEYER BUSHKIN]
If we could have the power to raise a wand on high
Commend for you a gift today
Wealth, we wouldn't wish you
Or things that gold can buy
What money makes, money takes away
[HARRY BOGEN, MEYER BUSHKIN, & TEDDY ASCH]
Wе'd commend you something special
Grand and worthy of this day

[BLANCHE BUSHKIN]
Thе gift that I would grant you
Is one you'd never trade for glory or success
Or fame
Your own good name

[BLANCHE BUSHKIN, MRS. BOGEN, & RUTHIE RIVKIN]
Yes, your own good name
We'd commend you something special
Grand and worthy of this day

[TEDDY ASCH]
The gift that I would grant you is when you need a friend
You'll find one half as good and true
As you know who

[ENSEMBLE]
As we all know who
We'd commend you something special
Grand and worthy of this day

[RUTHIE RIVKIN]
The gift that I would grant you is when you meet the one
The one you'll love your whole life through
She'll love you too
Like she's loved by you
[ENSEMBLE]
If we could have the power to raise a wand on high
Commend for you a gift today
Wealth, we wouldn't wish you
Or things that gold can buy
What money makes, money takes away
Happy birthday, thirteenth birthday
From the ones that love you so

[BLANCHE BUSHKIN]
Goodbye to childish things now
To boyish thoughts and ways
May love bless every day you know
To a boy, farewell
To a man, hello

[ENSEMBLE]
To a man, hello
