A Cat Had a Birthday Songtext
von Sesame Street

Hi, this is David
And I got a birthday game for you
It′s a song about
The way all kinds of animals say, "Happy Birthday"
And I want you to help me
When your turn comes

Okay? Are you set?
Here we go

A cat had a birthday
And all the cats came
To eat cat cake
And to play a cat game

To open cat presents
And when they were through
They said
A "Happy Birthday" the way cats do


You know what those cats said?
They said
They said, "Meow, meow, meow"
Everybody do it now

Meow, meow, meow
There's really nothing to it
Meow, meow, meow
Well, ah, imagine that
You just said "Happy Birthday" in cat

Okay, let′s try another one
Here we go

A duck had a birthday
And all the ducks came
To eat a duck cake
And to play a duck game

To open ducks presents
And when they were through
They said
A "Happy Birthday" the way ducks do

And I bet you know what those ducks said?
They said, "Quack, quack, quack"
Everybody do it now


Quack, quack, quack
There's really nothing to it
A quack, quack, quack
Well, the ducks are in luck
You just said "Happy Birthday" in duck

Alright, here's another one
Now, when a rooster wants to say
"Happy Birthday" to you
He says:
"A cock-a-doodle-doo
Cock-a-doodle-doo, doodle-doo"

Now listen real close
And I tell you one more
Happy birthday to a lion
Is a great big roar!

A cow had a birthday
And all the cows came
To eat a cow cake
And to play a cow game

To open cows presents
And when they were through
They said
A "Happy Birthday" the way cows do

And you know what those cows said?
They said, "Moo, moo, moo"
Everybody do it now
Moo, moo, moo
There′s really nothing to it

A moo, moo, moo
Well, you just learn how
To say "Happy Birthday" in cow

Ahh, you did real well
You said "Happy Birthday" in cow
You said "Happy Birthday" in duck
You said "Happy Birthday" in cat

And you know what?
I′m real, real proud of you
