Subject: RE: Birthday songs
Bonnie, the Dutch one goes

Lang tijd verleve, Lang tijd verleve,
Lang tijd verleve in de eewigkeit
In de eewigkeit, in de eewigkeit
Hourah (or Proficiaat)....

The French version, to the tune of HBTY:
Joyeux anniversaire
Joyeux anniversaire
Joyeux anniversaire (and here the squeeze the name of the birthday person in - and guess what the last line is? No, really...)
Joyeaux anniversaire!

Much like
There was a young man from Japan
Whose Limerics never would scan
When asked why it woz
He said, "It's becoz
I like to get as many words into the last line as ever I possibly can.."
