More Than a Birthday
Skirmish: A birthday song (@metalfoot)
Liner Notes
#birthday #skirmish #acousticrock I imagined a birthday on St. Patrick’s Day. I started out trying to mash up “More Than a Woman,” “Red, Red Wine,” and “Papa Was a Rollin’ Stone,” but then tried to throw in as many references as I could.
Lyrics
No one gets a day A day all their own But leprechauns Take the cake I put the occasion On the calendar It was right next to The shamrock shake
More than a birthday And I’m not new on the scene More than a birthday Where are all my peeps wearing green
Who else’s birthday Comes with the warning Do not drink The green beer And if you see a saint In a fistfight with snakes Better make sure You stand clear
More than a birthday And I’m not new on the scene More than a birthday Where are all my peeps wearing green
Who said this was Green Day And what would they say
If you can’t beat them You sure can’t join them Wake me up when This sorry scene ends All you can do Is rise above With a little help From your friends
More than a birthday And I’m not new on the scene More than a birthday Where are all my peeps wearing green
More than a birthday And I’m not new on the scene More than a birthday Where are all my peeps wearing green

Who else's birthday comes with a warning do not drink the green beer...ha! Great line. and there are a lot of them here, this is a nice slightly twisted take on a birthday song.

Some great lines here - "fistfight with snakes" "leprechauns take the take" and "do not drink the green beer" (is the brown acid OK?). Nice take on a birthday song.
