Your Birthday Is A Holiday



Your birthday is a holiday, a day to celebrate
Your birthday is a "Holy Day," a day to consecrate
Your birthday is a holiday, a day of recovery
Your birthday is "Columbus Day," a day of discovery
Your birthday is a holiday, a day of perfection
Your birthday is "Election Day," a day of selection
Your birthday is a holiday, a day for raucous cluck
Your birthday is "St. Patrick's Day," a day for all good-luck
Your birthday is a holiday, a day to mend-a-fence
Your birthday is "Atonement Day," a day of recompense
Your birthday is a holiday, a day to top premier
Your birthday is "Memorial Day," a day to remember
Your birthday is a holiday, a day to receive love
Your birthday is "Ascension Day," a day to rise above
Your birthday is a holiday, a day for attitude
Your birthday is "Thanksgiving Day," a day for gratitude
Your birthday is a holiday, a day to wake the town
Your birthday is "Presidents Day," a day to give renown
Your birthday is a holiday, a day of confection
Your birthday is "Valentine's Day," a day of affection
