lyrics

Birthday Funk
Ola Onabule © 1999

She was was fine, She was was eloquent yet fine
She could have had the choice cut of my day
She was sure she was confidently sure
That I’d be wanting more of what she gave

I so unstintingly obliged
I resigned myself to flight
I’m reckless on a moonlit night

Chorus

Good was happening,
Time was stopping,
We were laughing
Like it was my birthday

The wave was breaking
As my up was lifting
And I ain’t had this feeling
Since it was my birthday

So we were singing Ba dap doo, Ba dap doo Ba dap doo
Birthday!!!

She did good ,
But my instincts knew she would
I could not begin to want or hope for more
But you see a bit of courage sets you free
So I summoned up the Dutch to know the score

She so unstintingly obliged
And resigned herself to flight
She’s reckless on a moonlit night

Chorus
