HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR CUSTOMER

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR CUSTOMER
Gallagher (Universal)

You only come here
When you want somethin’ sweet to hear
And I’m just the fool talkin’ sugar out of school
Wastin’ my lines on a love that isn’t mine
That isn’t mine

Kisses over cakes
Lookin’ out my shop window
At the world winding it’s way
Through another workin’ day
While a river somewhere
Empties into the sea just like you and me
And should you both come in
I’ll look through you smile at him and say
Happy birthday dear customer

A long goodbye
I work on my reflection

But that’s never how it goes
Words fly out in all directions
How the whole street’s aglow
About the cook and his affections
And we both know yes we do
Can’t have your cake and eat it to so
Happy birthday dear customer
