I’ve been invited to a party

A plus one to someone

Who doesn’t know me

We met at a bar

He hit me into a table

And it all went dark

When I woke up I was at the hospital

He was helping me to health

As a way to say sorry

He said “but there’s this party”

And now I’m here reading poetry

They brought out the cake

I know it’s not fake

And I’m pretty sure your name is Mark

I know this is stark

But from the bottom of my heart

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday to who

I don’t know half the people

I know this is feeble

But it’s all I have and it’s mine

Written on the spot

All my rhymes on the dot

So happy birthday to who

The birthday boy or girl

Is in this room

I know it

The only problem is

I don’t know you

And I’m obviously showing it

Off to the people around the room

Mark, Felicity, and Jim

But I really should be back

At my house watching shows

That have only just been released

So sorry those here

So let’s have a beer

For the birthday person we cheer

“Happy birthday to who?

Happy birthday to you!”
