Lyrics
Birthday Anniversary
The hit single. Carl got married on his birthday — half the dates to remember and twice the fun.
Verse 1
Carl got married on his birthday, that’s a clever play,
Hard to forget your anniversary, when it’s the same day.
Some men forget their anniversary, wind up sleepin’ on the couch,
Carl built his right into his birthday, figured that one out.
Verse 2
He gets a cake, he gets a kiss, gets a card or two,
Every year he always knows exactly what he’s gotta to do.
No circles on the calendar, no doubt he’ll get it right,
Just blow out the candles, then hit dinner that night.
Chorus
Birthday, anniversary, rolled into one,
Half the dates to remember and twice the fun.
Some men need reminders, some men need a clue,
Carl picked the one day he knew he’d never lose.
Verse 3
Now was it love or strategy? Maybe we’ll never know,
But tying both together was a pretty slick way to go.
He vowed to love Dianne forever, meant every word he said,
But choosing his own birthday? That was thinking years ahead.
Verse 4
His family still laughs and says, “You’re clever, we’ll admit,
You found yourself a loophole and you married into it.”
One cake, one card, one dinner — Carl was thinking like a pro,
He picked the one anniversary he was born to know.
Chorus
Birthday, anniversary, rolled into one,
Half the dates to remember and twice the fun.
Some men need reminders, some men need a clue,
Carl picked the one day he knew he’d never lose.
Outro
So here’s to love and birthdays and a plan that worked out fine,
A marriage and a birthday sharing one convenient line.
Call it romance, call it genius, call it whatever you please,
Carl found the secret to a happy anniversary: make it easy.
