[Verse 1]
Two best friends on the old couch
Birthday candles burning out
Wives arrive with secret plans
Smiles that say, “You’re lucky men”
One says, “Buddy, don’t look now”
The other says, “I’m trying, wow”
Both sit straight as dinner plates
Trying hard to act their age
[Pre-Chorus]
The room gets warm, the punch gets strong
Something tells us we won’t last long
[Chorus]
Dreams do come true on your birthday night
Keep your hands where the cameras can see, all right?
Two lucky fools with a front-row view
Best friends forever, and husbands too
Raise a glass, let the good times roll
We’re losing dignity, but we’re gaining soul
Dreams do come true, everybody knew
Happy birthday to me—and happy birthday to you!
[Verse 2]
The neighbors heard a mighty cheer
The dog disappeared behind the chair
Someone dropped a birthday hat
No one’s talking about that
We tried to play a board-game round
But every piece fell on the ground
The wives just laughed and shook their heads
“Gentlemen, behave yourselves,” they said
[Pre-Chorus]
The clock moves on, the night feels new
There’s frosting on somebody’s shoe
[Chorus]
Dreams do come true on your birthday night
Keep your hands where the cameras can see, all right?
Two lucky fools with a front-row view
Best friends forever, and husbands too
Raise a glass, let the good times roll
We’re losing dignity, but we’re gaining soul
Dreams do come true, everybody knew
Happy birthday to me—and happy birthday to you!
[Bridge]
No details for the family group chat
No evidence beneath the welcome mat
Just two red faces, a crooked grin
And a birthday story we’ll never admit
[Final Chorus]
Dreams do come true on your birthday night
The cake’s gone missing, but the mood feels right
Two lucky fools with a front-row view
Best friends forever, and husbands too
Raise a glass, let the good times roll
We’re losing dignity, but we’re gaining soul
Dreams do come true, everybody knew
Happy birthday to me—and happy birthday to you!
[Outro]
Happy birthday, keep it classy
Happy birthday, slightly sassy
Best friends laughing, wives in control
That’s how you celebrate growing old!
