Happy birthday
akaiyume!
Happy Birthday! [thud!] Happy Birthday! [thud!]
Now you've aged another year
Now you know that Death is near
Happy Birthday! [thud!] Happy Birthday! [thud!]
Doom and gloom and dark despair
People dying everywhere!
Happy Birthday! [thud!] Happy Birthday! [thud!]
Typhoid, plague and polio
Coffins lined up in a row
Happy Birthday! [thud!] Happy Birthday! [thud!]
Birthdays come but once a year
Marking time as Death draws near
Happy Birthday! [thud!] Happy Birthday! [thud!]
Soon your hair will all turn grey
Then fall out (or so they say)
Happy Birthday! [thud!] Happy Birthday! [thud!]
We brought linen, white as cloud
Now we'll sit and sew your shroud
Happy Birthday! [thud!] Happy Birthday! [thud!]
