Lyrics
Verse 1]
Aunt Linda brought the cake in
With a grin and paper plates
Uncle Ray said, “Stand back, y’all”
Then produced a lighter shaped like fate
Mom was filming on her phone
Dad was yelling, “Clear the tray”
Grandma took one look and said
“I don’t think that’s legal, Ray”
I said, “Can we not do this?”
But the room began to cheer
Somebody dimmed the lights
Like the fire marshal wasn’t near
There were streamers on the ceiling
Balloons taped to the fan
Then Kevin from next door yelled,
“That’s a military-grade candle, man”
Pre-Chorus
Everybody smiled
Everybody clapped
I was making peace
With another family mishap
Somebody said, “It’s fine”
Somebody said, “Behave”
Then the frosting started bubbling
Like it came up from the grave
Chorus
Firework on my birthday cake
All I ever wanted was one normal day
Clap your hands while the living room breaks
Everybody dance through another mistake
Firework on my birthday cake
Make a little wish while the windows shake
If the roof comes down, let the whole block say
Happy birthday, baby, what a beautiful blaze
Verse 2
The tablecloth surrendered
The punch bowl turned to steam
The dog ran past the hallway
Wearing half a party stream
The clown was in the corner
Trying to renegotiate his pay
My cousin screamed, “Encore!”
So we made him leave the cake
The ceiling fan was spinning
Like it knew too much to stay
Then the left side started drooping
In a very judgmental way
I said, “Why is it melting?”
Dad said, “Don’t be dramatic”
Then a spark hit the curtains
And the whole room got cinematic
Pre-Chorus 2
Mom yelled, “Where’s the extinguisher?”
Ray said, “Check the grill”
Grandma grabbed the ice cream
Like she had one sacred will
Somebody saved the presents
Somebody saved the dip
I was crawling past the sofa
With confetti on my lip
Chorus
Firework on my birthday cake
All I ever wanted was one normal day
Clap your hands while the living room breaks
Everybody dance through another mistake
Firework on my birthday cake
Make a little wish while the windows shake
If the roof comes down, let the whole block say
Happy birthday, baby, what a beautiful blaze
Post-Chorus
La-la-la, let it glow
There goes the patio
La-la-la, light the room
There goes the bathroom too
La-la-la, what a night
Cake went left and flames went right
La-la-la, don’t be late
Smoke alarm harmonies sound great
Bridge
Happy birthday to me
Happy birthday to smoke
Happy birthday dear someone
Please tell me this is a joke
Happy birthday to flames
Happy birthday to fear
Happy birthday dear neighbors
Thanks for gathering here
I blew out one candle
Three more took its place
The cake grew taller
And stared at my face
I made one wish
I asked for peace
The cake said, “No”
And ate the lease
Breakdown / Call-and-Response
Who brought the candles?
Aunt Linda did
Who lit the candles?
Uncle Ray did
Who read the warning?
Nobody did
Who saved the frosting?
Grandma did
Who called the fire truck?
The neighbors did
Who started dancing?
The cousins did
Who wanted normal?
Baby, I did
Who got the footage?
Everybody did
Final Chorus
Firework on my birthday cake
All I ever wanted was one normal day
Clap your hands while the living room breaks
Everybody dance through another mistake
Firework on my birthday cake
Make a little wish while the windows shake
If the roof comes down, let the whole block say
Happy birthday, baby, what a beautiful blaze
Firework on my birthday cake
All I ever wanted was one normal day
Now the mailbox melted and the driveway quakes
Everybody pose for the insurance claim
Firework on my birthday cake
Make a little wish while the sirens shake
If the roof comes down, let the whole block say
Happy birthday, baby, what a beautiful blaze
Outro
Next year I want cupcakes
No candles
No singing
No Ray
