I've come to wish you an unhappy birthday
I've come to wish you an unhappy birthday  
I've come to wish you an unhappy birthday
I've come to wish you an unhappy birthday  
'Cause you're evil
because you're evil
And you lie
and you lie  
And if you should die
and if you should die
I may feel slightly sad
I may feel slightly sad
But I won't cry
(but I won't cry)
 
Loved and lost
Loved and lost
And some may say
and some may say
When usually it's nothing
when usually its Nothing
Surely you're happy
surely you're happy
It should be this way
it should be this way?
I say no, I'm gonna kill my dog
I say "No, I'm gonna kill my dog"
May the lines sag, the lines sag heavy and deep tonight

and deep tonight XXX"

Lyrics

I've come to wish you an unhappy birthday
I've come to wish you an unhappy birthday
because you're evil
and you lie
and if you should die
I may feel slightly sad
(but I won't cry)
Loved and lost
and some may say
when usually its Nothing
surely you're happy
it should be this way?
I say "No, I'm gonna kill my dog"
and: "May the lines sag heavy
and deep tonight XXX"
I've come to wish you an unhappy birthday
I've come to wish you an unhappy birthday
because you're evil
and you lie
and if you should die
I may feel slightly sad
(But I won't cry)
Loved and lost
some people say
when usually its Nothing
surely you're happy
it should be this way?
I said "No"
and then I shot myself
so, drink, drink, drink
and be ill tonight
from the one you left behind
from the one you left behind
from the one you left behind
from the one you left behind
XXXXXXXXX
