I was having a good sleep
In my car
In the, parking lot of the
Showboat Casino hotel

I say, "I remember you
You drive like a PTA mother"
You brought me draft beer
In a plastic cup

I'm feeling thankful
For the small things today
I'm feeling thankful
For the small things today

Happy, Happy Birthday to me
Happy Birthday to me
And to you

Happy, Happy Birthday to me
Happy Birthday to me
And to you

I'm feeling thankful
For the small things today
I'm feeling thankful
For the small things today

I remember you
I crashed your wedding
With some orange crepe paper
And some Halloween candy

Sometimes I wish I were Catholic
I don't know why
I guess I'm happy to see your face
At a time like this

Happy, Happy Birthday to me
Happy Birthday to me
And to you

Happy, Happy Birthday to me
Happy Birthday to me
And to you

Happy Birthday baby, to me
Happy Birthday, to me
Happy Birthday, to me
Happy Birthday, to me
Cracker

Holy crap. It just turned into my birthday here after midnight, and as I slave away working here on the East coast on a commercial that's due in the morning, this comes on.

Can't beat this on an all-nighter.

You've always been there for me, Bill. Thanks!

How weird, I thought this was Camper Van Beethoven at first.
 
I do remember hearing this song on alternative radio back in the mid 1990s, maybe 5 or 6 times then it was gone.

I particularly love this album(along with any and everything CVB,Cracker and all the other off-shoots they have,have ever done). For me the two best songs on this album are 'Mr. Wrong'(my ex likes that one) and 'Dr. Bernice'(quite wonderfully twisted).  Love artists with a humourously demented mindset.

Sometimes I wish I wasn't Catholic, as I'm sure all those times I've missed mass on Sunday the last 35 years or so haven't done me any favors 
in the afterlife!

Another band in the "Last Summer on Earth" concert on AXS tv.  I think it's on all month at different times if you're a Cracker fan.  Also Bare Naked Ladies, Blues Traveler, Big Head Todd and the Monsters.  This tour's coming to a town near me but watching it in HD on a 60" TV might end up saving me some $$$$.  Guess I'm getting old!

How come so many people disparage Cracker?  They write fun songs and have a great lead guitarist.  Are all "audiophiles" grumpy or what?   Just askin'...
