(Fast-paced, high-energy fiddle solo leading into a rhythmic acoustic guitar strum)
(Yeah, gather round everyone)
(We got a special day today)
(Let’s hear it for the birthday girl)
The sun came peeking through the curtain light
A brand new morning, feeling just so right
Got the banners hanging from the porch swing rail
Today’s the day, we’re gonna tell the tale
Three little candles on a chocolate cake
Oh, the memories that we’re gonna make
You’re running circles in your tiny boots
Growing up fast, planting down your roots
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday dear Subilo Banda
Happy birthday to you!
My daughter, you’re three years old today
Yeah, you’re three years old today
With giggles, hugs and sunshine
You make our world so bright
Your laughter echoes like a mountain stream
You’re living out the middle of a dream
Subilo Banda, you’re my hope and my faith
Keeping all the shadows from the garden gate
You’re my future, you’re a light in the dark
You’ve got that fire, you’ve got that spark
A brand new life, yeah, you’re a gift to me
Wild and happy, just as you should be
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday dear Subilo Banda
Happy birthday to you!
My daughter, you’re three years old today
Yeah, you’re three years old today
With giggles, hugs and sunshine
You make our world so bright
Three years of wonder, three years of grace
Looking at the smile upon your face
Nothing in this world could ever compare
To the joy you bring us, everywhere
So spin around, girl, let the music play
It’s your party, yeah, it’s your big day
We’re celebrating every step you take
Every little promise that we get to make
You’re my heart walking round outside my chest
Of all the treasures, you’re the very best
So blow the candles, make a little wish
Sealed with a hug and a birthday kiss
Subilo Banda, oh we love you so
Watch our little sunshine start to grow
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday dear Subilo Banda
Happy birthday to you!
My daughter, you’re three years old today
Yeah, you’re three years old today
With giggles, hugs and sunshine
You make our world so bright
Three years old today, yeah
Subilo Banda, shine on
Keep on smiling, keep on growing
(Fiddle flourish)
Happy birthday, sweetheart
(Upbeat acoustic fade out)
