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 walks out, sits down at a piano, pulls over the boom microphone suspended overhead, and says, “This birthday song is going out to today’s birthday girl, kyburg:
Tra la-la-la-la la-la-la-la
Happy birthday sweet sixteen
Tra la-la-la-la la-la-la-la
Happy birthday sweet sixteen
Tonight’s the night I’ve waited for
Because you’re not a baby anymore
You’ve turned into the prettiest girl
I’ve ever seen,
Happy birthday sweet sixteen
What happened to that funny face
My little tomboy now wears
heels and lace
I can’t believe my eyes
you’re just a teenage dream
Happy birthday sweet sixteen |
|
When you were only six
you played with your big brother
Then when you were ten
you didn’t like each other
When you were thirteen
you were my funny valentine
But since you’ve grown up
your future is sewn up
From now on you’re gonna be mine, so
If I should smile with sweet surprise
It’s just that you’ve grown up
before my very eyes
You’ve turned into the prettiest girl
I’ve ever seen
Happy birthday sweet sixteen
Tra la-la-la-la la-la-la-la
Happy birthday sweet sixteen
Tra la-la-la-la la-la-la-la
Happy birthday sweet sixteen
Tra la-la-la-la la-la-la-la
Happy birthday sweet sixteen |
[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!]
