Today it is her birthday,
A lady I have heard sing,
Heard sing all my life.
A voice so beautiful,
So beautiful it sends shivers,
Shivers down my spine.
Born this day in nineteen thirty three,
Ninety years old today,
A lady that has brough pleasure,
So much pleasure to all.
I wish you happy birthday Janet,
Dame Janet Baker.
