Lay in bed not feeling right
About to lose his birthday.
Mama said, “Your forehead’s hot.
Don’t know if you can, or not
Celebrate your birthday.”
Oskar Engen, feeling sick
Decided he’d get better quick
Because it was his birthday.
Didn’t want to be in bed
When he could eat cake instead
Because it was his birthday.
Oskar wondered what to do
If Mama thought he had the flu
Would he get his birthday?
Oskar ran to get a pail
Had a plan that would not fail
Had to save his birthday.
Filled it quickly up with ice
Stuck his head inside it twice
Gonna save that birthday.
“Mama, feel my forehead now.”
“Oh wonderful, no fevered brow.Let’s go celebrate your birthday.”
That dear friends, is why he’s here
Feeling full of birthday cheer
Celebrating one more year.
Oskar - Happy Birthday
