Grab the chair, boys! We've got another bucket kicker!

Happy Birthday my olde friend

It seems this horror show will never end
E7
Any moment's your last breath
Am
Here is to another day closer to death
Am
The cake is on the table
And it is awfully bright
Dm
'Cos there's so many candles on top
Am
And you are so decrepit
Your chest so tight
E7 Am
When you blow them out your lungs are gonna pop
Am
And you cannot complain
Each time you feel a pain
Dm
Though you have arthritis and gout
Am
'Cos when you start kvetching
All your teeth fall out
E7
So have another cigarette
Have another beer
Raise your glass to one more year (gone!)

Your skin is so worn out and old
Dm
All over your body it's saggin'
Am
Especially loose is your old caboose

You're dragging it behind you in a wagon

Well, you're an alcoholic
And you're blind and deaf

And you have Alzheimer's I bet

You're too old to remember
But you're too drunk to forget

So have another cigarette
Have another beer
Raise your glass to one more year (gone!)
