Still life, skin tight
Make-up in the hall
A photograph of Garbo
Passing time on the wall
Every little thing but the truth
When you’re big news
All used, cameras at the door
The film of your life
Takes a ride to New York
Every single frame has to end
As your sex lends appeal to a friend
Sing…
Happy Birthday
Have a nice day
Happy Birthday
Have a nice day
Ripped off pin-up, cry out to belong
They can’t love a woman
Now they’ve paid for a doll
Never trust a vulture to move
Now he’s looking for a shot in the nude
Sing…
Happy Birthday Mr. President
Have a nice day Mr. President
Happy Birthday Mr. President
Have a nice day Mr. President
Your hair-man hovers round
Make-up on the boards
It was just a note – a private joke
“While I’m still warm”
The vultures queue up at the morgue
Just a dollar for a shot at the corpse
Sing…
Happy Birthday
Have a nice day
Happy Birthday Mr. President
Have a nice day Mr. President
