Happy Birthday to Who?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO WHO?
Today is my birthday.
It’s my turn to play
King of the Mountain
Or Queen for a Day.
How did I earn
The right to cheer?
By choosing two people
To love me so dear.
Only the choice,
Was my claim to fame.
Mom and Dad had to take
All the pain.
Swollen legs, sore back
Morning sickness, too.
Dad had to wait
With nothing to do.
Today I should really
Thank them for a start.
I know that they suffered
Straight from their heart.
