Happy happy oh my friend.. blow out candles once again
leave the presents all inside.. take my hand and let's take a ride

Backwards down the number line.. you were eight and I was nine
Do you know what happened then.. do you know why we're still friends

Laughing all these many years.. we've pushed through hardships, tasted tears

We made a promise one to keep.. I can still recite it in my sleep

Every time a birthday comes.. call your friend and sing a song



Or whisper it in to his ears.. or write it down just don't miss a year

You decide what it contains.. how long it goes
but this remains.. the only rule is it begins..
happy happy oh my friend

And all my friends come.. backwards down the number line..
And all my friends come.. backwards down the number line..

You decide what it contains.. how long it goes
but this remains.. the only rule is it begins..
happy happy oh my friend




And all my friends come.. backwards down the number line..
And all my friends come.. backwards down the number line..
