OK, Folks, you know the drill. Allright everyone, let’s gather in front of our large, 13″, Black and White TV set, and watch as a tall, lanky man in a khaki uniform strides out, introduces himself as Sheriff John, and pulls out his accordion, and says: “Now, let’s sing this together for neo_tanuki, to the tune of the pirate classic “Blow the Man Down” (lyrics by Heather Alexander)”. He keys an “A” note, and starts:
| You say it’s your birthday, well, tell me who cares. Yo-ho, so it’s your birthday. We’ll tie up your feet, make you walk down the stairs. Yo-ho, so it’s your birthday. A cake with the candles all over the place. Yo-ho, Yo-ho, Yo-ho, so it’s your birthday. |
You’ll get lots of presents, tied up in a sack. Yo-ho, so it’s your birthday. And when you unwrap them, we’ll take them all back. Yo-ho, so it’s your birthday. But we love you; so don’t get us wrong. Yo-ho, Yo-ho, Yo-ho, so it’s your birthday. |
[Yes, it’s here. The 5th Annual Birthday Song Poll. So, if you want to make sure that the Sheriff sings the song you want, please fill out the poll. Note that if you want the birdie to be able to inform the Sheriff about your birthday, you need to make sure your birth month and day is in your profile, and it is visible to your friends. If you are a Facebook user and on LJ, please make sure I can connect your Facebook name with your LJ name. If you are a Facebook only user, you can’t vote in the poll until Facebook does OpenID, so get an LJ account!]
