We went and missed your birthday once again<\/p>\n
We\u2019ve consistently forgotten it since the age of ten<\/p>\n
Each year we say we won\u2019t forget to Happy Birthday you<\/p>\n
And then the day comes round and then of course we do.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s mad it\u2019s bad it\u2019s bloody sad and definitely wrong<\/p>\n
And we\u2019re hoping you\u2019ll forgive us<\/p>\n
If we send you this daft song.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Apple Mac reminded us it was your birthday slot<\/p>\n
Coming up the day before<\/p>\n
But sadly we forgot.<\/p>\n
We both of us remembered watching TV late last night<\/p>\n
And said thank God it\u2019s not too late for both of us to write<\/p>\n
But as we headed for our beds<\/p>\n
The thought completely left our heads<\/p>\n
It\u2019s really not polite.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
So we\u2019re once again apologizing that we\u2019re overdue<\/p>\n
In saying Happy Birthday Vic, Happy Birthday dear to you<\/p>\n
It\u2019s not much of a present but I suppose it could be worse<\/p>\n
All we\u2019re sending you this year<\/p>\n
Is this stupid fucking verse.<\/p>\n
I feel that I\u2019m particularly a really silly sod<\/p>\n
What kind of a Godfather does not believe in God?<\/p>\n
But there you are you\u2019re stuck with us<\/p>\n
You\u2019re stuck with what you\u2019ve got,<\/p>\n
Blame it on your parents or anyone, why not?<\/p>\n
We wish you happiness and joy in sunshine and in rain<\/p>\n
Until next year when to be sure we will forget again!<\/p>\n
