Maria: (in the bathtub) When it's my birthday, it really is great
I pull up the covers and I sleep really late
I'll take a nice hot bath with millions of bubbles
I'll read a good book and forget all my troubles
And that's my special way
To spend my very special day
And that's the way it's always gonna be
When I say, "Happy Birthday to me!"
(there is a knock at the door) Come in!
(Luis comes in with a big birthday cake!)
Big Bird: (by his nest, with Snuffy) When it's my birthday, I think that I'll spend
The whole day out playing with my very best friend
When I see lots of candles, I'll give a shout
And I'll let my friend help me blow them out
And that's my special way
To spend my very special day
And that's the way it's always gonna be
When I say, "Happy Birthday to me!"
(A bunch of kids come in with a birthday cake. Snuffy blows, and the kids and cake go flying. The cake splatters up against Big Bird's door.)
Oscar: When it's my birthday, I hope that we get
A cold rainy day so my presents get wet
I'll put some extra fish on my birthday cake
And tell all my friends to go jump in the lake
(his grouch friends leave, tossing the yucky cake)
And that's my special way, heh heh,
To spend my very special day
And that's the way it's always gonna be
When I say, "Happy Birthday to me!"
(goes back into trashcan, and the lid bangs him on his head) Ow!
The Count: When it's my birthday, I never will fail
To count all the cards that I get in the mail
I count the cake and candles up on the shelf
And count all the gifts that I give to myself
One present, two presents, three presents, four presents,
Five beautiful presents! 'A 'a 'a! (thunder and lightning)
And that's my special way
To spend my very special day
And that's the way it's always going to be
When I say happy, say happy,
Say, "Happy Birthday to me!"
Big Bird: To me!
Oscar: To me!
Maria: To me!
All: To me!
(Oscar throws his cake on the ground and it lands with a 'squish')
