Lyrics
- Dainty little flowers
Are nodding away the hours
And sending the summer showers home
This is baby’s birthday party day
Ev’ryone’s invited
The neighborhood’s so excited
They’re coming with such delighted smiles
This is baby’s birthday party day
‘Cross the garden
Lanterns gay are swinging
All the fanzcy paper bells are ringing
Here come the clowns and trick magicians
The dancers are in positions
And soon we will hear musicians play
This is baby’s birthday party day
Pass ev’ry glass
Here’s a toast to the host
And a cheer that we’re here
‘Cause ev’rybody’s feelin’ fine and dandy
Spoons and balloons
Paper hats, cotton cats
Lotta joys , lotta noise
‘Cause ev’rybody’s feelin’ fine and dandy
Baby’s blown the band up loud and louder
With T. N. T. and J. A. Z. Z. powder
Come on a whirl, take a twirl
Plenty sweets, plenty treats
It’s a gay happy day
‘Cause ev’rybody’s feelin’ fine and dandy
- No one’s on a diet
And no one can order “quiet”
The hullabaloo’s a riot now
This is baby’s birthday party day
Fun is never waning
The speed of the hour is gaining
Confetti and streamers raining down
This is baby’s birthday party day
There are fifty games and ninety prizes
And the birthday cake’s filled with surprises
Our darling baby’s one year older
And shaking a wicked shoulder
And ev’ryone’s gotta shout hooray
This is baby’s birthday party day
