[Verse 1]
Well, I know where you're going and who's gonna meet you there
I know how late you'll be coming home, but guess who doesn't care
Tonight I'll step out too, and since I won't be here
Happy birthday, Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year

[Chorus]
My best wishes may be early, but I'm not sticking around
To bake a cake for your birthday while you're out running around
She can help you celebrate, may she bring you lots of cheer
Happy birthday, Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year

[Verse 2]
Now I've made my mind up, played seconds long enough
You think I don't mean it, so you're gonna call my buff
But I'll be busy packing while you're holding her near
Happy birthday, Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year

[Chorus]
My best wishes may be early, but I'm not sticking around
To bake a cake for your birthday while you're out turning around
She can help you celebrate, may she bring you lots of cheer
Happy birthday, Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year
Happy birthday, Merry Christmas, and Happy, Happy New Year
