[Verse]
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?
Laughin' all these many years
We pushed through hardships, tasted tears
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 into his ears
Or write it down, just don't miss a year

[Chorus]
You decide what it contains
How long it goes, but this remains
The only rule is it begins
"Happy, happy, oh, my friend"
You decide what it contains
How long it goes, but this remains
The only rule is it begins
"Happy, happy, oh, my friend"
You decide what it contains (All my friends)
How long it goes, but this remains
(Come backwards down the number line)
The only rule is it begins (All my friends)
"Happy, happy, oh, my friend"
(Come backwards down the number line)
You decide what it contains (All my friends)
How long it goes but this remains
(Come backwards down the number line)
The only rule is it begins (All my friends)
