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, “Today, we have two birthday songs. First up is a belated song for aviatrix, whose birthday was yesterday but the birdie with the news was delayed until today.” He then starts singing the Birthday Cake Polka:
Put another candle on my birthday cake We’re gonna bake a birthday cake Put another candle on my birthday cake I’m another year old today I’m gonna have a party with my birthday cake |
We’ll have some pie and sandwiches And chocolate ice cream too We’ll sing and play the day away And one more thing I’m gonna do I’ll blow out the candles on my birthday cake Happy Birthday to You |
Next up is today’s birthday boy. Ready? The Sheriff pulls out his accordion, and then starts singing “Happy Birthday” (from Weird Al Yankovic’s debut album) for underpope:
Happy birthday Happy birthday to you Happy birthday Happy birthday to you Well, it’s time to celebrate your birthday, Your daddy’s in the gutter Happy birthday Well, what’s the matter little friend, It doesn’t take a (Come on boys and girls, sing along, ok?) |
Happy birthday Happy birthday to you Happy birthday Happy birthday to you Well there’s a punk in the alley I guess you know the Earth Happy birthday Happy birthday (Happy Birthday!) And a pinch to grow an inch! |
[Did you know you can pick which song the Sheriff sings for you on your birthday? It’s easy. Just visit the 6th Annual Birthday Poll on Livejournal (FB users: you can now log into LJ with your FB ID and vote in 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 LJ or FB profile, and it is visible to your friends. Note that the Sheriff only sings a song if I know you personally or you’re a regular commenter. So don’t lurk!]
