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!
Helpful tips
- Tailor the song to the birthday person's age and personality
- Age humour is a classic – but keep it kind
- Include personal details: hobbies, habits, funny memories
- Choose a melody everyone can sing along to
- 2–3 verses is perfect
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.
