The song I just put together and sang to my bestie
If Cryogenics Were All Free, Then You Could Live Like Walt Disney
& Live For All Eternity, Inside A Block Of Ice
But Instead Your Time Is Set; This Is The Only Life You Get
& Though It Hasn’t Ended Yet, you’re getting pretty old
Happy Birthday!! Another year is through.
Happy Birthday!! And another decade, too.
Happy Birthday!! We’ll sing it loud and shrill
‘Cause now that you have reached the top from here it’s all downhill
Now we gather round to cheer that you’re not in the ground and here
we let out a bright and joyful sound because we’re glad you’re here
Today you’ve reached a milestone with forty years on this old home
And so I’ve called you on the phone to depress you with this news
Happy Birthday!! Yes, I’m afraid it’s yours
Happy Birthday!! I’m sorry there’s no cure
Happy Birthday!! Well the truth is you could always say
There’ll be another 40 anyway so let’s just lie and say you’re young.
I sang it in my head to the tune of The Arrogant Worms’ “Happy Happy Birthday Song”.
Now cut the stupid cake.
