Birthday Wishes for shutterbug93

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 says: “I know I’m no Checkers and Pogo, and I don’t know the tune for ‘It’s your birthday the day you were born’. I hope this song will suffice instead.” He pulls out a bouzouki, strums it, and says, “This is for you, shutterbug93”:

My mother says that little girls are made of sugar.
Happy birthday! (Happy birthday!)
My mother says my life will be a white, white ribbon.
Happy birthday! (Happy birthday!)
And all my tomorrows are waiting in a line
Shimmering, glimmering, soon to be mine.

My mother says, she looks at me and she remembers.
Happy birthday! (Happy birthday!)
She envys with a love I’m just about to see.
But she was yesterday (she was yesterday)
And I’m tomorrow (I’m tomorrow)
Happy birthday (Happy birthday)
To me!

    La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Happy birthday! (Happy birthday!)
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Happy birthday! (Happy birthday!)

And all my tomorrows are waiting in a line
Shimmering, glimmering, soon to be mine.

My mother says, she looks at me and she remembers.
Happy birthday! (Happy birthday!)
She envys with a love I’m just about to see.
But she was yesterday (she was yesterday)
And I’m tomorrow (I’m tomorrow)
Happy birthday (Happy birthday)
Happy birthday (Happy birthday)

[Happy Birthday from Zorba the Greek, M&L: Kander/Ebb]

[I know, I know, you’re expecting me to pimp the birthday poll. Well, I won’t this week, because on Friday a new poll will be posted. I will, however, remind you that tomorrow is National Gorilla Suit Day. This is the perfect day to get that gorilla in your life what he or she really deserves: A banana creme pie. Remember, if you can’t wear your gorilla suit to work, be like the president and wear a business suit and eat a lot of bananas.]

May all your tomorrows be great ones!
