Go Back

Happy, Happy Birthday Baby

Words & Music by Margo L. Sylvia, Gilbert J. Lopez

Happy, happy birthday baby
Although you're with somebody new
Thought I drop a line to say
That I wish this happy day would find me beside you

Happy, happy birthday baby
No I can't call you my baby
Seems like years it was we met
On a day I can't forget
Because that's when we fell in love

Dou you remember, the names we had for each other
I was your pretty, you were my baby
How could we say goodbye?

Hope I didn't spoil your birthday
I'm not acting like a lady
So I close this note to you
With good luck and wishes too
Happy, happy birthday baby

Brother and sister team Gilbert J. Lopez and Margo L. Sylvia wrote Happy Happy Birthday Baby in 1952, although it wasn't until five years later that they recorded it with their group, the Tune Weavers. Their release on Checker Records (Checker 872) reached #5 on Billboard's Top 100 chart and #4 on the Rhythm & Blues chart in October 1957. Happy Happy Birthday Baby was the Tune Weavers' only charted single.

While visiting Waco, Texas, home of disc jockey Eddie Fadal in the summer of 1958, Elvis sang along with the Tune Weavers record a total of seven times. Fadal made a tape of the impromptu performance that later appeared on the bootleg LP Forever Young Forever Beautiful.
