Lyrics

Well, I'm not that old but I've heard it told
That fourteen billion years ago
There was nothing at all, and then something so small
And so heavy it had to explode
And there was more than enough primordial stuff
To make sextillions of stars
And when some cooled down there were planets around 'em
And one of those planets was ours
And thanks to water in the ocean and molecules in motion
And heat and who knows what else
Some proteins entwined and recombined
And started making copies of themselves
And of all the mutations and strange combinations
The weirdest one without a doubt
Could stand up tall and wonder at it all
And even figure this kinda stuff out
Well, that big of a coincidence doesn't make a lot of sense
And nobody knows what for
Could've been unplanned or by God's hand
But the only thing of which I'm sure
Is that you are the fruit of something inscrutable
Spanning untold millennia
And now here you stand with a drink in your hand
So I suggest you get it in'a ya

It's the day (it's the day)
That you were born (that you were born)
And we got plans for you, hope you're not workin' in the morning
Your mama remembers proudly and your friends get drunk and rowdy
On the day (on the day) that you were born (that you were born)
The lucky day that you were born

(You remember that day? Of course you don't!
Don't worry, I'll tell you how it went...)
Well, your dad was frettin' and your mom was sweatin'
And you had your own share of strife
Then you came out crying and everyone was sighing
'Bout the wonder of the cycle of life
But of all the mysteries in your history
There's really no riddle as hard as
How such a little doll, so precious and small
Could grow up to be such a big smart-ass

I said it's a-lucky for us and that's just because
There's really nobody quite like you
You're a good friend to have, and we get lots of laughs
At all the goofy-ass things you do
I've heard the wisdom of a sage comes with old age
But I don't see how that's true
Cause no matter how old you get, you're still full of shit
You're welcome, and I love you too

Last chorus: If you don't act your age, you just might feel it in the morning
