Black Bear Inn
Well I was down in a town called Watervliet
With a restless mind and restless feet
I thought hey, why not myself I treat
To a beer and a good time
Took me a while and my lady said no
But I said darling, I have to go
And see what kind of music they have to show
For around these parts
I believe it was called the Black Bear Inn
On a pianny and bass a black man was playing
I found my way from the outside in
To have a listen
I looked around and felt sheepish and odd
Cause I saw a chick there with shoulders broad
Curly hair and smiling like a Jack o' lantern, or at least
I thought I sawed her
I went up to the mic and I played my set
There was nobody and nothing for me to regret
A dude said a nice word and that was that
I left thinking what a strange little place
Though I found it kinda pretty despite its lack of grace
And I still find myself thinking of that stranger's face from time to time
And the strangest part you know is that every year
Right around the time my birthday gets near
I see someone looks just like that appear
Like clockwork
Doesn't matter where because she's smiling wide
I couldn't avoid her even if I tried
Tells me "Happy Birthday" and runs and hides
Before I can get my senses
Happy birthday
Happy birthday
Happy birthday every year
Happy birthday
Happy birthday
Until the day you die
Happy birthday
Happy birthday
Happy birthday every year
Happy birthday
Happy birthday
Until the day you die
With a restless mind and restless feet
I thought hey, why not myself I treat
To a beer and a good time
Took me a while and my lady said no
But I said darling, I have to go
And see what kind of music they have to show
For around these parts
I believe it was called the Black Bear Inn
On a pianny and bass a black man was playing
I found my way from the outside in
To have a listen
I looked around and felt sheepish and odd
Cause I saw a chick there with shoulders broad
Curly hair and smiling like a Jack o' lantern, or at least
I thought I sawed her
I went up to the mic and I played my set
There was nobody and nothing for me to regret
A dude said a nice word and that was that
I left thinking what a strange little place
Though I found it kinda pretty despite its lack of grace
And I still find myself thinking of that stranger's face from time to time
And the strangest part you know is that every year
Right around the time my birthday gets near
I see someone looks just like that appear
Like clockwork
Doesn't matter where because she's smiling wide
I couldn't avoid her even if I tried
Tells me "Happy Birthday" and runs and hides
Before I can get my senses
Happy birthday
Happy birthday
Happy birthday every year
Happy birthday
Happy birthday
Until the day you die
Happy birthday
Happy birthday
Happy birthday every year
Happy birthday
Happy birthday
Until the day you die
