Ronnie Spector Happy Birthday Rock 'N' Roll Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Seems it was only yesterday
When I first began to hear you play
How you've matured and changed your style
But you're still a front of [?] by a million miles
Some people say you've lost your grip
They say you're past your prime and you're not longer here
But in the top ten, you're just as strong
There's still a whole lotta shakin' going down

[Chorus]
So Happy birthday
Happy birthday rock 'n' roll, rock 'n' roll
You're pushing forty, but you're still not old
You're still a kid down in your soul
Happy birthday rock 'n' roll

[Verse 2]
Do you remember, on your mama's knee?
They used to pat your head and call you "R&B"
They fed you country, and blues guitars
By the time you grow to teenagе, you were a star, and you are

[Chorus]
Happy birthday
Happy birthday rock 'n' roll, rock 'n' roll
You'rе pushing forty, but you're still not old
You're still a kid down in your soul
Happy birthday rock 'n' roll

[Bridge]
So many stars on stage tonight
On the inspiration to your guiding ride
So many lovers can't thank you enough They use your melody to rule the ones they love

[Chorus]
So Happy birthday
Happy birthday rock 'n' roll
Sweet rock 'n' roll
You're pushing forty, but you're still not old
You're still a kid down in your soul
Happy birthday rock 'n' roll

[The Ronettes Medley]
Do you remember?

[Part I: Be My Baby]
(Be my, be my baby) Be my little baby
(My one and only baby) Say you'll be my darling
(Be my, be my baby) Be my baby, now
(My one and only baby)
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh yeah, do you remember?

[Part II: Baby, I Love You]
(Baby, I love you) Come on, baby
(Baby, I love you) Ooh-ee, baby
(Baby, I love you) Oh-oh
(Baby, I love you) Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
(Baby, I love you) Oh-oh-oh-oh

(Happy birthday rock 'n' roll)
You're still a kid, down in your soul
Happy birthday rock 'n' roll
And do you remember?

[Part III: You, Baby]
You, baby (Baby I)
You, baby (Baby I)
Ooh, baby just for you
Woah, only you, uh

[Outro]
Happy birthday, rock 'n' roll
Rock 'n' roll
Happy birthday, happy birthday
Happy birthday baby
