verse 1 

         C               G 
oh happy birthday, happy birthday 
       Dm                 C 
little Lisa, today's your day 
          C                    G 
sing Hallelujah, you know they blew 'ya 
              Dm                       C 
there are too ma-any candles in your cake 
              Em7               Fmaj7              
but don't you worry, there's no hurry 
    Dm                              G 
the Je-hovas are standing by your door 
             C                 G 
and they are offering, eternal suffering 
        Dm                 C 
eternal life, but you said no 


verse 2 

         C                  G 
turn on the radio, clee the windows 
         Dm                   C 
do it in slow-mo as the day unfolds 
            C                   G 
oh, how the sun shines inside you 
            Dm                 C 
just like I do, these days are gold 

               Em7                   Fmaj7              
the nights are silver, they make you shiver 
Dm                              G 
tomorrow the Jehova's will come by 
          C                   G 
and they will ask you of an excuse 
        Dm              C 
not to accept eternal life 


BRIDGE 

C G Dm C x2 


verse 3 

       C               G 
but I love you, yes I love you 
       Dm                     C 
but I would never kiss your lips 
          C                  G 
'cause there's a friendship, a lovely kinship 
              Dm                 C 
here's a tulip, to match your eyes 

              Em7               Fmaj7              
oh drinkin' cheap wine to bossanova 
    Dm                    G 
you're a supernova in the sky 
          C             G 
the Je-hovas in their pullovers 
        Dm                      C 
are no casanovas like you and I 


verse 4 

         C               G 
oh happy birthday, happy birthday 
       Dm             C 
happy birthday to you 
          C                    G 
oh happy birthday, happy birthday 
        Dm         C 
happy birthday to you 

Em7 Fmaj7 
uuh uhh 
       Dm        G 
happy birthday to you 
          C                    G 
oh happy birthday, little Lisa,  
        Dm          C 
happy birthday to you
