Kaisu Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 The Birthday Dirge" sung to the tune of "The Volga Boatmen". The thud that follows each "Happy Birthday!" is traditionally accompanied by a "HUHN"-like grunt. Happy Birthday! <thud!> Happy Birthday! <thud!> 1. Now you've aged another year Now you know that Death is near Happy Birthday! <thud!> Happy Birthday! <thud!> 2. Children dying far and near They say that cancer's caused by beer 3. Doom and gloom and dark despair People dying everywhere! 4. Typhoid, plague and polio Coffins lined up in a row 5. Now that you're the age you are Your demise cannot be far 7. Birthdays come but once a year Marking time as Death draws near 8. Long ago your hair turned grey Now it's falling out, they say 9. We brought linen, white as cloud Now we'll sit and sew your shroud 10. It's your birthday never fear You'll be dead this time next year 11. See the wrinkles on your face Like the pattern of fine lace 12. Were I sitting in your shoes I'd go out and sing the blues 13. When you've reached this age you know That the mind is first to go

May the candles on your cake burn like villages in your wake! Happy birthday <thud> Happy Birthday <thud> ( This filk is very common in the SCA and other recreation groups. There is no one version of the song and my last check it was up to over 40 lines. hehe The candles happen to be my favorite one.)
