Here are the lyrics to Bettina’s 60th birthday song to the tune of “All Night Long” as Lionel Ritchie is her favourite singer. This video is in a slideshow sing-a-long format.
Well, my friends, the time has come
To celebrate and have some fun
A handsome maid once left her home
Warwick was where she roamed.
Everybody sang, everybody danced,
Sure she had the odd romance
They used to party, cinzano,more bubbly, get lager
Come on and sing along
They used to party, cinzano,more bubbly, get lager
Come on and sing along
(Be)Tina’s song
Joys life long
smiles-a- ton
Keeps us young
Packed her bags, the world to see,
everywhere’s the place to be
Life was good, wild and sweet
Let the music play on
Now that’s all gone, and your home is Hove,
You’ve made this place a treasure-trove
Still wants to party, now Merlot, more bubbly, Kaluha
Come on and sing her song
(Be)Tina’s song
Joy life long
smiles-a- ton
Our special one
When you get started, you can’t sit down
Come join the fun, there’s no ti-me to frown
so good at blowing our troubles away,
You can still party, the same old way
Tam bo li de say de moi ya
Hey Jambo Jumbo
Way to parti o we goin’
Oh, jambali
Tam bo li de say de moi ya
Yeah, Jambo, jumbo
Oh, O, O, O, yes
We’re going to have a party! (Yeah… ugh)
(Be)Tina’s song
Joy life long
smiles-a- ton
All night long
Everyone you meet,
You make it all a treat
All night long…
