I had a bass for my birthday this year And I have learnt to play And I'll smash any pranny That comes 'round here And tries to have my bass away
That very same day That I learnt how to play Outside our house just hanging about Was a mush in blue jeans That were frayed at the seams Who said he was a talent scout
I had a bass for my birthday A bass for my birthday A bass for my birthday I learnt to play today
I thought I had a pretty good name I was called Van Erickson But he said he knew best And had tattooed on my chest My new name, Mickey Moron
Now you'll have to go far Before you beat me I tell ya 'Cause now I'm a flipping great star I've been on TV so it's easy to see How I got this big house and this car
I had a bass for my birthday [A bass for my birthday] A bass for my birthday [A bass for my birthday] I learned to play today
Magic
I had a bass for my birthday [A bass for my birthday] A bass for my birthday [A bass for my birthday] I learned to play today
Happy birthday to you Happy birthday to you Happy birthday Mickey Moron Happy birthday to you
