Walter Brennan - Happy Birthday Old Folks lyrics

rate me

You know when you get to be as old as I am

Good things start to mean a lot more to you

'Cause that's when most of your family and long time friends come around

And sorta gives you somethin' to look forward to.

Sure all made a fuss over me here today

And do you want to know somethin', I kinda like it to

And when they were all eatin' one of them greandkids of mine

Slipped me something she wrote, here let me read it to you.

Dear Grandpa, so today you added one more year

Now where we gonna put that other candle

And in your wheel of life there's one more spoke

Happy Birthday old folk.

Happy birthday from all of us here

And from everyone who wished to come but just couldn't

There's a wish for you to make and our fondest hopes

Happy birthday old folk.

Thanks for givin' each of us something words won't say

From your grandson playin' there to your oldest far away

Happy birthday while the candles glow

Let this old house ring again with laughter

You stand against time like a grand old oak

Happy bithday old folk.

You stand against time like a grand old oak

Happy bithday old folk...
