Sing, little Madeline! Sing for joy!

Your birthday is today!

Perhaps you’ll get a doll or toy

With which to dance and play.

Perhaps you’ll have a birthday cake

With candles to blow out,

A celebration for your sake

With loved ones all about.

Sing, little Madeline! Sing a song

Of happiness and pleasure!

This day is your day all day long,

A day that you will treasure.
