Subject: RE: Happy!
"Happy Birthday. Happy Birthday.

People crying everywhere.

People dying everywhere.

But Happy Birthday. Happy Birthday."

A friend of mine used to sing something quite similar to the "Song of the Volga Boatmen". His second line was "Pain and sorrow fill the air." He claimed the Boy Scouts actually used that tune for their birthday song.

HLBD, Dick!
