Unfortunately there doesn't seem to any information regarding how to play 'Happy Birthday' on the lyre, the only results that come up are about the piano or the guitar. So it may not be possible to play this particular tune on the lyre.
The only possible notes that I could find on the Internet are listed below, however, these may not be the correct notes so be prepared for that possibility.

• Different instrument.
If you are looking for the song for a family member's birthday and you wanted to play it to them, then consider briefly taking up a new instrument such as the guitar or piano. The chords and sheet music for these instruments are very readily available online for free and they are very easy to learn. You could have the tune perfected in a matter of days at the most.
Ask a family member or friend who might be experienced in playing that instrument to help you out.
• Singing.
If you don't want to learn a new instrument, then consider adding another personal touch. Gather round any willing family members and sing the happy birthday song to the lucky birthday girl or boy. This may require several practice sessions leading up to the big day beforehand in order to perfect it. But little mistakes are what will make this gesture even more personal.
Ask another member of the family to record you singing the song and the reaction of the birthday boy or girl. If this is a complete surprise to them then it will be funny to see the reaction on their face, especially for future reference when the home videos are dragged out again one day.
