18) Happy Birthday/Signed, Sealed, Delivered I'm Yours
ALL: Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday
Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday
SOLO: You know it doesn't make much sense
There ought to be a law against
Anyone who takes offense
At a…day in your celebration
SOLO: Cause we all know in our minds
That there ought to be a time
That we can set aside
To show…just how much we love you
ALL: Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday
Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday
Signed, Sealed, Delivered
(During the intro to this song, we will be saying thank yous to the different people in the crews,
orchestra, choreo, etc.)
SOLO: Where are you? Response: Here I am, baby!
(After thank yous, a small group singing a cappella)
Here I am, baby!
Here I am, baby!
Here I am, signed, sealed, delivered. I’m yours!
SOLO: Like a fool I went and stayed too long
Now I'm wondering if your love's still strong
ALL: Oo, baby, ‘cuz here I am, signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours!
SOLO: Then that time I went and said goodbye (ooh ooh ooh ooh)
Now I'm back and not ashamed to cry
ALL: Oo, baby, ‘cuz here I am, signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours!
Here I am baby. Signed, Sealed, Delivered, I'm yours (You got my future in your hands)
Here I am baby. Signed, Sealed, Delivered, I'm yours (You got my future in your hands)
SOLO: See, I've done a lot of foolish things, huh,
That I really didn't mean. And I wanna tell you, baby.
SOLO: Seen a lot of things in this old world (ooh ooh ooh ooh)
When I touch them, they mean nothing, girl
ALL: Oo, baby, ‘cuz here I am, signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours!
SOLO: Oowee, owee baby, you set my soul on fire
That's why I know you're my one heart's desire
ALL: Here I am baby. Signed, Sealed, Delivered, I'm yours
Here I am baby. Signed, Sealed, Delivered, I'm yours
Here I am! Signed! Delivered! Baby, I'm yours!
