Verse: 

G                              D 
Today is Leonard's birthday so it is time to sing 
                                        G 
and hope he does not disappear with the help of a magic ring 
       C 
he's a really hoopy frood and 
G 
a super shiny nerd 
   D                               G 
so let's not split the party as we all join in the words 




G 
You're getting older 
              D 
Live long and prosper 
        G                    C 
When it counts, may you roll high! 
      G                D 
Happy birthday to you, Leonard 
         C        D       G 
You're a frakking awesome guy.  

(Repeat Chorus)

So say we all!
