THE BIRTHDAY DIRGE

tune: "Volga Boatmen"

 

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. Death, destruction, and despair

People dying everywhere

 

3. Typhoid, plague and polio

Coffins lined up in a row

 

4. When you've reached the age you are

Your demise cannot be far

 

Other Common Verses:

 

5. Pestilence has struck your town

You yourself feel quite run-down

 

6. Birthdays come but once a year

Marking time as Death draws near

 

The Viking/Barbarian Verses:

 

7. Burn the castle and storm the keep

Kill the women, but save the sheep

 

8. Burn, then rape by firelight

Add _romance_ to life tonight

 

9. May the candles on your cake

Burn like cities in your wake.

 

10. They stole your sword, your gold, your house

Took your sheep but not your spouse

 

11. This one lesson you must learn

First you pillage, then you burn

 

12. While you eat your birthday stew

We will loot the town for you,

 

The SCA Verses:

 

13. We brought linen, white as cloud

Now we'll sit and sew your shroud

 

14. Your servants steal, your wife's untrue

Your children plot to murder you

 

Other Verses:

 

15. Just be glad the friends you've got

Haven't found out you-know-what

 

16. It's your birthday never fear

You'll be dead this time next year

 

17. Now another year has passed

Don't look now they're gaining fast!

 

17a. So far Death you have bypassed

Don't look back, he's gaining fast

 

18. You must marry very soon

Baby's due the next full moon

 

19. When you've reached this age you know

That the mind is first to go

And I'm giving a free party courtesy of R9 to whoever can guess my birthday... The exact day of the week, date, month, and year... And I'll throw in a free show by The Rubber Band if you can tell me what provincial holiday I was born on!

Did someone say Powerpuff Girls?!

 

Oh yeah I'm only 16 too but that's ok. 43 is nothing man, you should be happy to be alive.

AH! YEs! I AM YOUNG, YOUNG YOUNG!! BUWAHAHAHAHAAAA *runs out of air*!!

 

I'm 13 years old yet I have the intelligence level of people far older than me. I still have my whole life ahead of me!

 

Oh wait, now I'll have to worry about stuff in teh future. Suddenly I wish I could stay like this, unless of course I suddenly gained vast wealth.

 

Oh well...
