Subject: RE: Origins: We Wish You A Happy Birthday
Oh, and the words I sing:

We wish you a happy birthday,
A joyous and celebrated birthday
To our dear (NAME)
May (S/HE) have a long, long life.

I seem to remember being told that the original version did not include the word "you" in the first line.
