When everybody had no money, it didn't seem so funny at the time.She used to cook it up for seven, and serve it with a glass of wine.Local hobos come to the door every day.The window cleaner tries to keep her who's in the band today.Happy birthday Ruthie baby, we want to give you a hand.Happy birthday Ruthie baby, from the boys in the band.She would ask us out for supper, we would talk the night away.You'd think she didn't have enough of seeing us around all day.Sitting drinking, thinking of records to play.And at a quarter to eleven in the morning it would start again.Happy birthday Ruthie baby, we want to give you a hand.Happy birthday Ruthie baby, from the boys in the band.She keeps us happy in the cellar, that fella down below's alright.And any time she holds a party, the neighborhood's awake all night.Four months on and rocking the night away.It does your heart good to go back and find that everything's the same old way.Happy birthday Ruthie baby, we want to give you a hand.Happy birthday Ruthie baby, from the boys in the band.Happy birthday Ruthie baby, we want to give you a hand.Happy birthday Ruthie baby, from the boys in the band.
