Happy birthday Buddha
Happy hunting, happy hiding
Happy New Year
I hope you get yourself together
I hope your absence is made clear
Happy birthday Buddha
I first learned
There was a value
In a little subterfuge
From some old
Peeping Tom or another
Woman's refuge
Came in contact with a Svengali
He was housebound and unwell
Choked on a whale bone in a Cantonese restaurant
His nervous system
Had broken down
Buddha, Buddha, Buddha
Buddha, Buddha, Buddha
Buddha, Buddha, Buddha
Happy birthday Buddha
Happy birthday Buddha
Happy hunting, happy hiding
Happy New Year
I hope you get yourself together
I hope your absence is made clear
Happy birthday Buddha
Happy birthday
