Happy Birthday Mr. Christian by Apollonia 6 Lyrics

Genre: pop | Year: 1984

[Verse 1]
Late in my early teenage
I was considered fast
While some of the girls were failing
I passed in every class
Our principal's name was Christian
And I played upon his fears
In exchange for my diploma
I loved him through the years

[Chorus]
Happy birthday Mr. Christian
What are we gonna do?
You want a teenage pastime
I want a love that's true
A man in your position
You oughta be ashamed
Happy birthday Mr. Christian
Why can't you live up to your name?

[Verse 2]
It was only the first semester
But my body developed quick
Compared to the size of my chest then
All the other girls looked sick
Mr. Christian stared at me always
Desire turned to pain
I suggested we go to his office
And that's when the lunch bell rang
[Chorus]
Happy birthday Mr. Christian
What are we gonna do?
You want a teenage pastime
I want a love that's true
A man in your position
You oughta be ashamed
Happy birthday Mr. Christian
Why can't you live up to your name?

Sha la la, la la la
Sha la la, la la la

Oh, Mr. Christian, you're a bad boy
Why that's not a pencil...shame
Oh, Mr. Christian, you're a bad boy
Why can't you live up to your name?

We had our love down to an art form
Each act was like scenes from a play
With every lesson I gave him
Mr. Christian gave me an "A"
I graduated with honors
A riddle to everyone
Everyone except Christian
Mr. Christian and I, and our son
[Chorus]
Happy birthday Mr. Christian
What are we gonna do?
You want a teenage pastime
I want a love that's true
A man in your position
You oughta be ashamed
Happy birthday Mr. Christian
Why can't you live up to your name?

What are we gonna do?
I want a love that's true
You oughta be ashamed
Why can't you live up to your name?
What are we gonna do?

No tengo tiempo para jugar {I have no time to play games}
Necesito un hombre verdadero, no metido {I need a real man, not a liar}
Tú sí que no te enteras, chaval, OK? {You don't understand, boy, OK?}
Qué hacemos? {What are we gonna do?}
Habla fuerte que no te oigo! {Speak louder 'cause I can't hear you!}
Christian! Christian! Christian!

Oh, Mr. Christian, you're a bad boy

Christian
Give me some horns (UGH!)
I like it!
Christian!
Christian!
Christian!

Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you
Happy birthday Mr. Christian, happy birthday to you

Happy birthday, Mr. Christian
