Lyrics[]

US[]

Mr. Grumpy: (speaking) Oh, crooked cucumbers!

I don't want a fuss or birthday banners
I don't want some chatty party planners

Save your breath, I'm in no mood to hear you sing.

Oh, give me peace, give me quiet

Not some ruckus party riot!

It's a birthday! Yes, I know, but here's the thing. (Here's the thing)

I prefer my birthdays grumpy and my mashed potatoes lumpy
I can't bear the "Happy Birthday" blustering!
I don't care if you think it's wonky
Put the tail back on the donkey

Save your breath, I'm in no mood to hear you sing. (La la la la)

Oh, I don't want a fuss or birthday banners
I won't want some chatty party planners

Save your breath!

Mr. Grumpy: (speaking) Oh, crooked cucumbers!

He don't want a fuss or birthday banners
He don't want some chatty party planners

Save your breath, he's in no mood to hear us sing

Mr. Grumpy: (speaking) Oh, come on, give me peace, just a bit of quiet! Not all this raucous party riot!

It's a birthday, yes he knows, but here's the thing (Here's the thing)

He prefers his birthdays grumpy and mashed potatoes lumpy
He can't bear the "Happy Birthday" blustering!
He doesn't care if it's wonky
Put the tail back on the donkey

Save your breath, he's in no mood to hear us sing (La la la la)

Oh, he don't want a fuss or birthday banners

He don't want some chatty party planners,

Mr. Grumpy: (speaking) Save your breath!
