Whats the Good Of A Birthday Lyrics

I've had a birthday come today, it's been a bit of a washout too
Though I had presents from everyone of the useful kind
Without much fun and a bit of a party do

A tin of sardines and I et all the lot, he-he
Then I showed them if I could be sick or not, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, hoo-hoo
It was awful - all over the place

When I'd been sick they said that's that and me birthday they said was done
They washed me hands and washed me face, I was sent to bed
