Story behind the song
As seen... except it wasn't my birthday. 8^)
Lyrics
What The Hell, Happy Birthday
V1
There’s a cool wind blowing; through the fruit trees in my garden
And I’m sitting up in bed, idly watching the leaves dancing
As the branches gently sway, I’m so glad to feel this way
‘Cos usually I’d be hanging out of bed, with a nail driven right inside my head
V2
But instead, I’m feeling fabulous, with my fruit trees in the garden
Going to get out of bed and join the leaves in dancing
My body wants to sway, I’m so glad to feel this way
Much better than hanging out of bed, with that nail driven right inside my head
Pre-Chorus:
What The Hell, Happy Birthday, never thought that I’d reach 30
My hands are going to get dirty… today… yes today
Each minute of my morning, I’ll be dancing’ while I’m pruning
With these brand new secateurs, that I got from Uncle Truman
And then I’ll fork and spoon, throughout this sunny afternoon
Chorus:
So what The Hell, Happy Birthday
What The Hell, Happy Birthday
What The Hell, Happy Birthday, to me
What The Hell, Happy Birthday, to me
V3
I have turned a new leaf and it seems I’ve turned a corner
I think I’ve lost my girlfriend but I haven’t time to mourn her
As the branches gently sway, I’m so glad to feel this way
No more hanging round my bed, with this garden growing in my head
V4
Instead, I’m feeling fabulous, on this sunny afternoon
I’m going to shape my garden, going to snip and clip and prune
Then I’ll gather all my family and show them what I’ve done
Show them that I’ve finally found my place, my old life gone without a trace
Pre-Chorus:
What The Hell, Happy Birthday, never thought that I’d reach 30
My hands are going to get dirty… today… yes today
Each minute of my morning, I’ll be dancing’ while I’m pruning
With these brand new secateurs, that I got from Uncle Truman
And then I’ll fork and spoon, throughout this sunny afternoon
Chorus:
So what The Hell, Happy Birthday
What The Hell, Happy Birthday
What The Hell, Happy Birthday, to me
What The Hell, Happy Birthday, to me
Bridge:
Hell yes, I‘m far too young, to be thinking of growing old
But the way I see it folks, I’m really being bold
I’ll bring youth to my garden; I’ll bring truth to my garden
My body wants to sway and I’m glad to feel this way
Pre-Chorus:
What The Hell, Happy Birthday, never thought that I’d reach 30
My hands are going to get dirty… today… yes today
Each minute of my morning, I’ll be dancing’ while I’m pruning
With these brand new secateurs, that I got from Uncle Truman
And then I’ll fork and spoon, throughout this sunny afternoon
Chorus:
So what The Hell, Happy Birthday
What The Hell, Happy Birthday
What The Hell, Happy Birthday, to me
What The Hell, Happy Birthday, to me
