MANY HAPPY RETURNS OF THE DAY
(Joseph Burke (m) Al Dubin (l) )

as recorded by Kay Starr
with orchestra conducted by Dave Cavanaugh
October 20th 1947


Many happy returns of the day,
And there isn't much more I can say.
I recall with a tear
You've been married a year,
But I still wish you love with a heart that's sincere.

I won't bring any presents to you;
I gave you love, what more could I do?
I'll just send a bouquet
With a card that will say,
"Many happy returns of the day!"

(scat)
I'll just send a bouquet
With a card that will say,
"Many happy returns of the day!"
