Oh, Happy Birthday to You

 Oh hello! This is your song.
It's your birthday and time for good cheer.
Your smallest friends, Fred Maple and Stormy,
have asked me to say that you are their dear.

Oh happy birthday to you.
What, on your birthday, did you do?
Did you work for the man,
Did you play kick the can?
What, on your birthday did you do?

What time did you wake on this  special day?
How far did you travel; what did you say?
Did anyone ask, "How much will you pay?"
Or did you simply just walk away?

Oh happy birthday to you.
What, on your birthday, did you do?
Did you work for the man,
Did you play kick the can?.
What, on your birthday did you do?

You must make plans for the coming year.
You should find a way to swallow a fear
that's been in the way of having good cheer.
Maybe someone will be great and buy you a beer.

I hope you enjoy this little rhyme
and the song gives you bliss.
I'd have made it more better, if I had more time...

Oh happy birthday to you.
What, on your birthday, did you do?
Did you work for the man,
Did you play kick the can?
What, on your birthday did you do?
