It's your birthday, and you're not here
And it makes me want to shed a grouchy tear
'Cause on your day of birth, worm
I wish you were on Earth, worm
Instead you're high above
The atmosphere

Oh what can you do when your pet
Is as far away as he can get?
He's not in New Jersey, he's not in Cancun
He's on his way back from a trip to the moon

And I wanna say "Happy Birthday"
I wanna say it face to face
I wanna say "Happy Birthday" to Slimey
But he's out there in space

Oh what's a grouch supposed to do
When he's feelin' this lonely and blue?
I'm feelin' too sad to be grouchy and mean
With me and the moon, and my worm in between

'Cause I wanna say "Happy Birthday"
I wanna say it face to face
I wanna say "Happy Birthday" to Slimey
But he's out there in space
Oh yeah
He's out there in space
Oh dear
