Five Years Old (Live)

Happy birthday Martha, happy birthday, birthday girl
I'm sorry I can't be there for that party, birthday girl
But pin the tail upon the donkey in that party dress
Balloons and cake, two kinds of ice cream, I guess you'll be a mess

Five years old, five years old
Five years old, five years old

Be nice to all your pals and cousins, remember they're your guests
Share the fun with your big brother, as friends go, he's your best
I know that they'll sing happy birthday when those lights go out
Make a wish, it just might come true, blow those candles out

Five years old, five years old
Five years old, five years old

I Hope you get the gifts you wanted on your special day
The pet store was all out of ponies, maybe next birthday
I know you can not play with flowers, they're nice to smell and see
But if you got some roses on your birthday they're from me

I won't forget the day that you were born five years ago
We were happy and excited and we loved you so
You're growing up so quickly now, I feel a little sad
That's to be expected, after all I am your daddy

Five years old, five years old
Five years old, five years old

Happy birthday Martha, happy birthday, birthday girl
I'm sorry I can't be there for that party, birthday girl
But pin the tail upon the donkey in that party dress
Balloons and cake, two kinds of ice cream, guess you'll be a mess
