Bella’s Birthday Cake Lyrics

Bella played the bridge every second
Loneliest night of the year
Took a certain liking to a fellow there, Bella
She said I brought her back to some old better man, fella
Bella, she was born today feeling kinda spry

Bella's birthday cake was burning, yeah
Like lightning, oh, like fire
Bella's birthday cake was burning

Bella made her bed in red
Every loneliest night of the year
Tied me to rages of her rocking chair, Bella
Fed me quiet offer through her ever wares, I tell ya
Bella she was born today feeling kinda spry

Bella's birthday cake was burning yeah
Like lightning, oh, like fire
Bella's birthday cake was burning
Ever yearning forest fire

And all of her lines she left unread
"Spirits and battles won," she said
And over her mountain tops
She ground me off where...I can't remember...no
Bella played the bridge on the second
Loneliest of the year
Bella she was born today

Bella, Bella, Bella, Bella, oh
Bella, Bella, Bella, Bella, oh
Bella, Bella, Bella, Bella, oh
Bella, Bella, Bella, Bella, oh

Bella's birthday cake was burning
Bella's birthday cake was burning
Bella's birthday cake was burning
Bella's birthday cake was burning

Fifty years gone
Bella's birthday cake was burning
Fifty years gone
Fifty years man
Fifty years gone
Bella's birthday cake was burning, burning, burning
Bella, Bella, woo...
