Birthday Gal Lyrics

Artist: The Replacements
Album: All For Nothing / Nothing For All

Wax is dripping from the frosting on the cake
Come on girl, buckle up, and don't hesitate
Take a deep breath and blow 'em all away.

We sang of key and all the dishes china-blue
Remember don't tell a soul, that wish, it won't come true
Hey sad face on your lucky day.

Birthday gal, did you wish yet?
Can you handle the turn? the candles are burnin' low
Birthday gal, did you wish that..
There weren't quite as many candles that you had to blow?

Hair falls down all around the eyes that close
She might wear them earrings but she won't wear the clothes
Oh, hang 'em up with all the ones that don't fit no more

I thought this was a party, so come on let's lighten up
No one gets a slice until we make the first cut
No, we'll leave the lights down, she's ready now and this is here.

Birthday gal, did you wish yet?
Can you handle the turn? the candles are burnin' low
Birthday gal, did you wish that..
There weren't quite as many candles that you had to blow?

Birthday gal, did you wish yet?
Can you handle the turn? the candles are burnin' low
Birthday gal

2nd line - Come on girl, pucker up (instead of buckle up) and 4th line we sang off key (instead of of key)

Love your site - Thanks.
