    Melody: Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

    You've reached a birthday milestone now,

    your body creaks – we won't ask how,

    you moan about your back and knee,

    but still you dance for all to see.


    Your sofa has your shape by now,

    and Netflix knows your every vow,

    but today the party's all for you,

    happy birthday – through and through!

    How to write a birthday song

    A birthday song is a personal and festive element that brings guests together.

    Age humour is inevitable – and that's okay! The best songs tease gently about ageing: the glasses, the sofa, the early bedtime.

    Balance humour with genuine warmth. Highlight the birthday person's qualities and end with wishes for the future.
