Birthday Boy is better again!
He's never going to go there again!
He's never going to let the toxins
Eat away his lungs!

Leo, we're happy that you're well.
You're not going to hell.
And even when you die
There'll be a Heaven in the beautiful big sky
So instead of having a wake
Have a beautiful big doggy-cake
And Leo, just rest your sleepy head
Cos we're happy that you're not dead
And you are a dog,
But Leo, you're my g-d.
I love you Leo

Yo everybody, my name is Birthday Boy
When I'm here on the streets I'm not a toy!
Don't get me wrong, I'm just not annoyed
I just don't want to be seen as a toy.
Yo, everybody, let's do some marching
Rap rap rappety, rappety parchin'
That's what birthday boy thinks!

Birthday Man
You were my only friend in the whole world
And then you went and fell off a cliff.
Birthday Man
You were the man who is my friend and took me in
But now I don't know when you're going to stop
Falling away from me,
Falling away from me.
Birthday Man
You've got some birthday bread on top of you head
Do you know it's there?
You never mention it much.
You are great!
You're my greatest friend in the world
Hey! You're Birthday Man
I'm a Birthday Boy
And together we're a Birthday Family,
Family,
Away From Me
(I hope you stop falling at some point soon)

Always falling man,
Tumbling over without any plan,
Falling as free and far as he can.
He’s always falling man.
Always falling,
An appalling calling!
Airborn as a starling,
Always Falling Man.
Birthday bread for falling man
Bake it up in a tub or a pan
Birthday day,
and he’s falling away
Never know what a person’ll say to an
Always Falling Man

All the boys
Are coming down for Birthday Boy
All the girls
Are comin down for Birthday Boy
Too late mama
This kiddy’s not a toy
Well I gotta birthday cake
A joy to bake
And birthday bread
Upon my head
For all of you to enjoy!
And I’m gonna go away and write a letter
Telling you I think you better
call me the blue suede boy
And now I’m tellin you again
This kiddy’s not a toy!
All the boys
Are coming down for Birthday Boy
All the girls
Are comin down for Birthday Boy
Too late mama
This kiddy’s not a toy
Down by the shore,
Where we see the people playin'
Forevermore
With a breadin and birthdayin'
In the sea,
When I’m feelin down
That’s where I’ll be
With all the kids in town (that’s when you see)
All the boys
Are coming down for Birthday Boy
All the girls
Are comin down for Birthday Boy
Too late mama
This kiddy’s not a toy
In the sun
When the fish all play,
Having fun
I could do this every day.
It’s never too late
Cos Summer’s never goin’ away!
