No time for the movie show TV or the radio I gotta write a symphony And a book of poetry Tie them with a ribbon made of gold And give them to Cindy Today is Cindy's birthday No time for geometry Arithmetic or history I gotta write a song from my heart And paint the greatest work of art Tie them with a ribbon made of gold And give them to Cindy Today is Cindy's birthday No movies Turn off the radio Today is Cindy's birthday No time to do the Twist Don't mind all the things I've missed I gotta write a melody Write it from the heart of me Tie it with a ribbon made of gold And give it to Cindy Today is Cindy's birthday Today is Cindy's birthday
