Happy Birthday Dad



Happy birthday to you
You haggard old hand
You've age like a goose egg
in spots of your brand

And roosted so easy
in eggs come out right
When your children are spotting
your colors to right

And you're father for honor
of color and blight
Where together your sharing
what love is to sight

And we wish you your birthday
be happy for dad
When your wish is in giving
us birthday shared fad
