Today Is Blackie's Birthday Lyrics

Oh, Black baby
You look so tired
A full-grown baby
You're growin' so tired of growin' old

And how old are ya'?
And were you ever really young no baby don't
There'll be a new Sun risin
For another day's passin over your gray horizon

Today is the first day of the rest a' your life
Time goes away
You've thought about checkin out and don't deny it
Time goes away

But if you really wanna can the music
You better sleep on it
Fill your life with a love or lose it
Like a' rock 'n roll music

No more agin now
Today you're gonna help celebrate

Blackie's birthday
He's 22 today
It's Blackie's birthday
He's 22 today

So you're gonna get up
You're gonna wrap him up a big surprise
Today is Blackie's birthday
And we'll sing happy birthday to you

Today is the first day of the rest a your life
Time goes away
You've thought about checkin' out and don't deny it - Already tried it!
Time won't go away, no it won't

But if you really wanna can the music
You better sleep on it
Fill your life with a love or lose it
Like a' rock 'n roll music

No more agin now for us
Today Urge Overkill celebrates

Blackie's birthday
He's 22 today
It's Blackie's birthday
He's 22 today

So you're gonna get up
You're gonna wrap him up a big surprise
Today is Blackie's birthday
So Blackie, happy birthday yeah, oh-ho

Urge Overkill are an alternative rock band from Chicago that attracted underground attention in the late 80s and early 90s. While their ironic reshaping of 70's arena and glam rock left them marginalized during the height of grunge, they managed to appear on the charts with their cover of the Neil Diamond classic "Girl, You'll Be a Woman Soon" from the Pulp Fiction soundtrack, which hit #50 on the US Charts, and #11 on the Modern Rock charts. Their single "Sister Havana" also received some airplay. They disbanded in 1997 due to various addictions and in 2004 reunited, although they did not take their drummer Blackie on tour with them. They are currently touring the US, and a new album of Urge Overkill material is anticipated.
