Cindy's Birthday Johnny Crawford Written by Jeff Hooven and Hal Winn (played Mark McCain on TV's "Rifleman") Top spot charted # 8 in 1962 No time for the movie show, TV, or the radio Gotta write a symphony, end it with some poetry Tie them with a ribbon made of gold and give them to Cindy Today is Cindy's birthday No time for geometry, 'rithmetic, or history Gotta write a song from my heart, then pick the greatest work of art Tie them with a ribbon made of gold and give them to Cindy Today is Cindy's birthday No time to do the Twist, don't mind all the things I miss Gotta write a melody, write it from the heart of me Tie it with a ribbon made of gold and give it to Cindy Today is Cindy's birthday Yes, Cindy's happy birthday FADE
