If I was a tenor,
if I was a tenor,
I would sing much higher,
I would sing much higher, I would sing much higher,
so high as the sky.
If I was soprano,
if I was soprano,
I would sing so lovely,
I would sing so lovely, I would sing so lovely,
so lovely for you.
We are singin’ for your birthday,
Singin’ for your birthday,
Singin’ for your birthday, our gift is this song.
If I was a bass man,
if I was a bass man,
my voice could make vibrations,
my voice could make vibrations, my voice could make vibrations,
vibrations for you.
If I was an alto,
if I was an alto,
you would like to hear me,
you would like to hear me, you would like to hear me,
from morning to night.
We are singin’ for your birthday,
Singin’ for your birthday,
Singin’ for your birthday, our gift is this song.
