How It Should Be
“Go Shorty, it’s your birthday. We’re
Gonna party like it’s your birthday.”
Rapper 50 Cent tells it how it is
When it’s your day, celebrate
Have a party, eat some sweet delicious cake
And don’t worry about being late
Forget work and school
Sleep in and keep it cool
Your birthday should be all about
YOU!
Movies, Xbox, and PlayStation too
We all deserve a break
Take the time to relax and
Commiserate
One special holiday all about us
A day off not just for the famous
But for the ordinary, too
No one should be making a fuss
No school and no work on our
Birthday
It doesn’t matter the time of year
Everyone should be able to have
some cheer
No more drowning in work
Get up and dance, celebrate or
twerk
There never seems to be enough
time
To be lazy, relax, or sit down and
rhyme
I insist everyone should get their day
off
To recognize, honor, and let the
haters scoff
Your birthday should be all about
YOU!
But most of us find
We don’t have the time
Or are always putting others first
I insist you pick a day
Even if it's not on your birthday
To relax and take a well-deserved break
