\nWith stupid hats and plastic plates
\nThe fact that you were able to make
\nAnother trip around the sun<\/p>\n
And the whole clan gathers round
\nAnd gifts and laughter do abound
\nAnd we let out a joyful sound
\nAnd sing that stupid song<\/p>\n
Happy birthday!
\nNow you’re one year older!
\nHappy birthday!
\nYour life still isn’t over!
\nHappy birthday!
\nYou did not accomplish much
\nBut you didn’t die this year
\nI guess that’s good enough<\/td>\n
\nAnd hope you don’t remind yourself
\nThe chance of finding fame and wealth
\nDecrease with every year<\/p>\n
Does it feel like you’re doing laps
\nAnd eating food and taking naps
\nAnd hoping that someday perhaps
\nYour life will hold some cheer<\/p>\n
Happy birthday!
\nWhat have you done that matters?
\nHappy birthday!
\nYou’re starting to get fatter
\nHappy birthday!
\nIt’s downhill from now on
\nTry not to remind yourself
\nYour best years are all gone<\/td>\n
\nThen you could live like Walt Disney
\nAnd live for all eternity
\nInside a block of ice<\/p>\n
But instead your time is set
\nThis is the only life you get
\nAnd though it hasn’t ended yet
\nSometimes you wish it might<\/p>\n
Happy birthday!
\nYou wish you had more money
\nHappy birthday!
\nYour life’s so sad it’s funny
\nHappy birthday!
\nHow much more can you take?
\nBut your friends are hungry
\nSo just cut the stupid cake <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n
OK, Folks, you know the drill. Allright everyone, let’s gather in front of our large, 13″, Black and White TV set, and join Sheriff John in singing the Birthday Cake Polka for six_gun_samurai… but wait… the Sheriff’s not on today. Instead, we have a funny looking group of three guys, and they are singing: Once Read More …<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39,1],"tags":[330],"class_list":["post-3910","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-birthdays","category-lj-xfer","tag-birthdays-2010"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cahighways.org\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3910","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cahighways.org\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cahighways.org\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cahighways.org\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cahighways.org\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3910"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/cahighways.org\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3910\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cahighways.org\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3910"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cahighways.org\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3910"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cahighways.org\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3910"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}[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<\/a> on Livejournal or the parallel note on Facebook<\/a>. 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!]<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
