The Replacements Birthday Gal lyrics

Wax is dripping from the frosting on the cake
Come on girl, buckle up, and don't hesitate
Take a deep breath and blow 'em all away

We sang of key and all the dishes china-blue
Remember don't tell a soul, that wish, it won't come true
Hey sad face, on your lucky day

Birthday gal, did you wish yet?
Can you handle the turning? The candles are burning low
Birthday gal, do you wish that
There weren't quite as many candles that you had to blow?

Hair falls down all around the eyes that close
She might wear 'em earrings but she won't wear the clothes
Oh, hang 'em up with all the ones that don't fit no more

I thought this was a party, come on let's lighten up

No one gets a slice until we make the first cut
No, we'll leave the lights down, she's ready now and this is here

Birthday gal, did you wish yet?
Can you handle the turning? The candles are burning low
Birthday gal, do you wish that
There weren't quite as many candles that you had to blow?

Birthday gal, did you wish yet?
Can you handle the turning? The candles are burning low
Birthday gal, do you wish that
There weren't quite as many candles that you had to blow?

Birthday gal, make a wish, make a wish
