Birthday
Lennon/McCartney

Lyrics:
You say it's your birthday
It's my birthday too, yeah
They say it's you birthday
We're gonna have a good time
I'm glad it's your birthday
Happy birthday to you

Yes we're going to a party, party
Yes we're going to a party, party
Yes we're going to a party, party

I would like you to dance (birthday)
Take a cha-cha-cha-chance (birthday)
I would like you to dance (birthday)
Ooo, dance, yeah

I would like you to dance (birthday)
Take a cha-cha-cha-chance (birthday)
I would like you to dance (birthday)
Ooo, dance

You say it's your birthday
It's my birthday too, yeah
They say it's you birthday
We're gonna have a good time
I'm glad it's your birthday
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you

What Goes On? Anomalies

Whispering between vocalists. Also hear Ringo counting the bars from 1 to 8 up to 0:56

Reported as "female voices" mock Paul saying "Come on", and "Birthday". Actually, this is Paul, and the second word is "Baby"

Previous take's "dance" shows through, resulting in Paul ending up singing "Daaaannceee/aaaance"

Laughter after the drumming stops.
