Lyrics for Happy 60th Birthday Jan
Happy 60th Birthday Jan
Now Jan, I am the minstrel man, and so I have been told
That today’s your birthday, and you’re turning 60 years old.
You’re renowned for your quick, witty reposts , and being mega sarky too
But I won’t tell anybody if you won’t but I hear you have a soft heart too
Chorus
So Happy birthday to you Jan, as I sing this song to you
With Anthony, Gemma, Andy and your grandchildren Sophie and Kian too
Your family means the world to you, and your future looks bright, it’s true
Now, you’re recovering from open heart surgery, you can fly off to Palma too.
You had a happy childhood at 38 Cleveleys Avenue
With your parents Jack and Kitty and your sister Lesley too.
You were “well hard” at secondary school,
getting into fights and you’d win they said
Like the guy on bank street who grabbed your boobs,
till your handbag came down on his head
You got done for underage drinking, for a half of bitter at age 15
Your mum was upset but your Dad thought it was hilarious it seems
You were an ace roller skater in the Nevada skating rink it’s true
You looked fetching in your skating skirts the guys were all madly in love with you
You love Northern Soul and Rock ‘n’ Roll and this one thing is clear
You’ve had a major crush on Rod Stewart for about 50 years
Chorus
Now Jan, I am the minstrel man, and so I have been told
That today’s your birthday, and you’re turning 60 years old.
You’re renowned for your quick, witty reposts , and being mega sarky too
But I won’t tell anybody if you won’t but I hear you have a soft heart too
Chorus
So Happy birthday to you Jan, as I sing this song to you
With Anthony, Gemma, Andy and your grandchildren Sophie and Kian too
Your family means the world to you, and your future looks bright, it’s true
Now, you’re recovering from open heart surgery, you can fly off to Palma too.
You had a happy childhood at 38 Cleveleys Avenue
With your parents Jack and Kitty and your sister Lesley too.
You were “well hard” at secondary school,
getting into fights and you’d win they said
Like the guy on bank street who grabbed your boobs,
till your handbag came down on his head
You got done for underage drinking, for a half of bitter at age 15
Your mum was upset but your Dad thought it was hilarious it seems
