A CAT HAD A BIRTHDAY
(Jeff Moss)

Sesame Street


Okay everybody, I'm gonna tell you about some birthday parties I've 
been to 
And when I get to the "Happy Birthday" part, well, 
I want you to say "Happy Birthday" the same way the animals said it 
at the party 
Here we go! 

A cat had a birthday and all the cats came 
To eat cat cake and play a cat game 
To open cat presents and when they were through 
They said "Happy Birthday" the way cats do 

And they said, "Meow, meow, meow" 
Everybody do it now, "Meow, meow, meow" 
Really nothing to it, "Meow, meow, meow" 
Well image that, you've just said "Happy Birthday" in cat 
That's what you did! 

A duck had a birthday and all the ducks came 
To eat duck cake and play a duck game 
To open duck presents and when they were through 
They said "Happy Birthday" the way that ducks do 

And they said, "Quack, quack, quack" 
Everybody do it now, "Quack, quack, quack" 
Really nothing to it, "Quack, quack, quack" 
Well the ducks are in luck, you've just said "Happy Birthday" in 
duck 

Now when a rooster wants to say "Happy Birthday" to you 
He says, "Cock-a-doodle, cock-a-doodle-do" 
Now listen real close and I'll tell you more 
"Happy Birthday" to a lion is a great big "ROAR", nice 

A cow had a birthday and all the cows came 
To eat cow cake and play a cow game 
To open cow presents and when they were through 
They said "Happy Birthday" the way cows do 

And they said, "Moo, moo, moo" 
Everybody do it now, "Moo, moo, moo" 
Really nothing to it, "Moo, moo, moo" 
Well you just learned how to say "Happy Birthday" in cow 

Where's the cats? (meow, meow, meow) 
Let's hear the ducks! (quack, quack, quack) 
Do it rooster! (cock-a-doodle-do) 
What's up lion? (ROAR) 
Word cows! (moo, moo, moo) 

You were really great, I'm proud of ya, "Happy Birthday"!
