But, It doesn't make much sense
There ought to be a law against
Anyone who takes offense
At a day in your celebration
We all know in our minds
There ought to be a time
That we can set aside
To show just how much we love you
I'm sure you would agree
All the [?] it would be
Than to have a world party on the day you came to be
Happy birthday to ya
Happy birthday to ya
Happy birthday
Happy birthday to ya
Happy birthday to ya
Happy birthday
It's never understood
How a man who died for good
Could not have a day that would
Be set aside for his recognition
'Cause it will never be
Just because some could not see
The greatest man is he
And they should make it become an illusion
And we all know that could be
And he stood for time will bring
And in peace, our hearts will sing
Is to Martin Luther King
Happy birthday to ya
Happy birthday to ya
Happy birthday
Happy birthday to ya
Happy birthday to ya
Happy birthday
Why has there never been a holiday
When peace is celebrated
All throughout the world
Happy birthday to ya
Happy birthday to ya
Happy birthday
Happy birthday to ya
Happy birthday to ya
Happy birthday
Happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday
Happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday
(Happy birthday, happy birthday)
Happy birthday to ya
Happy birthday to ya
Happy birthday
Happy birthday to ya
Happy birthday to ya
Happy birthday
