Thread Name: Lyr Req: Happy Birthday Song—everything goes wrong
Subject: RE: Happy Birthday Song - everything goes wrong
I am interested in finding verses to the Happy Birthday to the tune of the Volga Boatman song. Following onto Micca's 28 Mar 10 - 06:56 AM message, above:

Happy Birthday (uhn!)
Happy Birthday (uhn!)
Gloom and doom and dark despair
People dying everywhere
Happy Birthday (uhn!)
Happy Birthday (uhn!)

additional verses:

When you reach the age you are
your demise cannot be far

May the candles on your cake
burn like cities in your wake


Sometimes the line after the verse is sung as "On your Birthday" rather than "Happy Birthday".

Of course, Micca had already given a couple of those verses.

Does anybody have any more verses?

Also, does anyone have more verses to the Birthday song that goes

Why was he born so beautiful?
Why was he born, at all?
He's no bloody use to anyone.
He's no bloody usssssssse, at all!
