Birthday - Song Lyrics

  • Originally written by John Lennon & Paul McCartney, & performed by The Beatles
  • Released in 1968 on "The White Album", it never cracked the Top 40 charts
  • It was one of the last songs John and Paul collaborated on.   Although most of their songs were credited to Lennon / McCartney, many of their later songs were actually written individually
  • On the original recording Patti Harrison and Yoko Ono sang in the chorus

You say it's your birthday
It's my birthday too--yeah
They say it's your birthday
We're gonna have a good time
I'm glad it's your birthday
Happy birthday to you.

Yes, we're going to a party, party
Yes, we're going to a party, party
Yes, we're going to a party, party

I would like you to dance--birthday
Take a cha-cha-cha-chance--birthday
I would like you to dance--birthday
Dance

You say it's your birthday
Well, it's my birthday too--yeah
You say it's your birthday
We're gonna have a good time
I'm glad it's your birthday
Happy birthday to you.
