The 25th of February
Is a real red-letter day
‘Cause my special friend will hit the big Five Oh
But with her ever youthful looks
And her crazy zest for life
There’s no-one in the world would ever know!
She’s a mother in a million
Who just loves to tease her kids
And play silly pranks to keep them on their toes
She’s real caring, cool and kind
And such fun to be around
‘Cause laughter lives wherever Jilly goes
At sports she is a whizz
Just give her a hockey stick
And she’ll dribble, strike and make that small ball fly
While out on that tennis court
When she slices a ball
“There goes another Jilly Owen” is the cry
As a Steel Magnolia guest
She out-dressed us all
In paint apron, swimming costume and snowboots
She sure loves to holiday
And I’m still hoping one day
We’ll both get to Oz and really have a hoot
So on your special day
I’d just like to wish you
A birthday filled with love and happiness
‘Cause as a mother, wife and friend
You give so much to others
And Jilly, you deserve the very best
