A Cat Had a Birthday is a Sesame Street song about the ways different animals say "Happy birthday".

Lyrics
Kingston: A cat had a birthday and all the cats came.

To eat cat cake and play a cat game.

To open cat presents and when they were through,

They said, "Happy birthday" the way cats do.

They said--

Chip, Dip and Rocky: Meow, meow, meow.

Kingston: Everybody do it now.

Chip, Dip and Rocky: Meow, meow, meow.

Kingston: There's really nothing to it.

Chip, Dip and Rocky: Meow, meow, meow.

Kingston: Well, imagine that. You just said "Happy birthday" in Cat.

A duck had a birthday and all the ducks came.

To eat duck cake and play a duck game.

To open duck presents and when they were through,

They said "Happy birthday" the way the ducks do.

They said,

Ducks: Quack, quack, quack.

Kingston: Everybody do it now.

Ducks: Quack, quack, quack.

Kingston: There's really nothing to it.

Ducks: Quack, quack, quack.

Kingston: Well, the ducks are in luck. You just said "Happy birthday" in Duck.

Doop doop doop, hey! Doop doop doop.

Now, when a rooster wants to say, "Happy birthday to you", he says,

Rooster: Cockadoodle! Cockadoodle-doo!

Kingston: Now listen real close and I'll tell you more. "Happy birthday" to a lion is a great big--

Lion: Roar!

Kingston: Doop doop-a-doo-da-doo. Doop doop!

A cow had a birthday and all the cows came.

To eat cow cake and play a cow game.

To open cow presents and when they were through,

They said "Happy birthday" the way cows do.

And they said--

Cow 1: Moo.

Cow 2: Moo.

Cow 3: Moo.

Kingston: Everybody do it now.

Cow 1: Moo.

Cow 2: Moo.

Cow 3: Moo.

Kingston: There's really nothing to it.

Cow 1: Moo.

Cow 2: Moo.

Cow 3; Moo.

Kingston: Well, you just learned how to say "Happy birthday" in Cow!
