Happy Birthday, Ruthy Baby
When everybody has no money
A little seems so funny half the time
She used to cook enough for seven
And serve it with a glass of wine
Local hobos come through the door every day
The window cleaner tries to clean her
Who's in the bed today?
Happy birthday, Ruthy baby
We wanna give you a hand
Happy birthday, Ruthy baby
From the boys in the band
She would ask who's trying for supper
And we would talk then right away
You think she didn't have enough
Of seeing us around all day
Sitting, drinking, thinking of records to play
And at a quarter to elevеn in the morning
It would start again
Happy birthday, Ruthy baby
We wanna give you a hand
Happy birthday, Ruthy baby
From thе boys in the band
She keeps her sake in the cellar
The feller down below's all right
And any time she holds a party
The neighbour who's awake all night
Four months on and rocking the night away
Because you're happy to go back and find
That everything's the same old way
Happy birthday, Ruthy baby
We wanna give you a hand
Happy birthday, Ruthy baby
From the boys in the band
Happy birthday, Ruthy baby
We wanna give you a hand
Happy birthday, Ruthy baby
From the boys in the band
