Teaching Tips - make up some fun movements for action words and filling the birthday boy/girl's name after "happy birthday ____." Make up some new words & movements with the instrumental.

You can swing with some monkeys in a coconut tree -
It's your birthday
You can be the captain of a big boat at sea -
It's your birthday
You can dance the hula with palm trees in the sand -
It's your birthday
You can play electric guitar with a rock and roll band -
It's your birthday

Chorus Happy birthday (child's name)
Happy birthday to you
We're glad to say, it's your day
It's your birthday

You can hop with a kangaroo to the toy store -
It's your birthday
You can ride on an eagle and glide and soar -
It's your birthday
You can be the strongest in the world with big muscles too -
It's your birthday
You can really be happy just to be you -
It's your birthday

Repeat Chorus
