Hre's a song we sing at Dartmouth after the classic Hill Sisters
version of Happy Birthday: (BTW, the tune we call "happy birthday" was
originally "Good Morning to You")

Happy birthday *thud* (can be achieved by stomping feet on ground)
Oh happy birthday *thud*
People dying everywhere
Grief and sadness and despair
On your birthday *thud*
Oh happy birthday *thud*
ONE DAY CLOSER TO DEATH!!!!!!!

Have a nice day. :)

"The Sun is the same, in a relative way, but you're older; Shorter of
breath, and one day closer to death."
- Pink Floyd, can't remember the song's name, from "Dark Side of The
Moon"

"The memories of a man in his old age, are the deeds of a man in his
prime."
- Pink Floyd, "Free Four", from "Obscured By Clouds"

Pink Floyd have a lot of quotable things on age, but these two are the
only ones I can remember right now. Age must be getting to me :-)

- Tor Iver, aged 24

There are a LOT more verses to that birthday song. Here are some of them...

tune: "Volga Boatmen"

Happy Birthday! (UHH!) Happy Birthday! (UHH!)
Death and gloom and black despair
People dying everywhere
Happy Birthday! (UHH!) Happy Birthday! (UHH!)

Now you are the age you are Fear and gloom and darkness but
Your demise cannot be far no one found out YOU KNOW WHAT

May the candles on your cake You're a period cook, its true
burn like cities in your wake ask the beetles in the stew

Burn the Castle and storm the keep Now your jail-bait days are done
Kill the Women but SAVE THE SHEEP! let's go out and have some fun!

May your deeds with sheep and yaks You must marry very soon
equal those with sword and axe baby's due the next full moon

Your servants steal, your wife's untrue Were I sitting in your shoes
Your children plot to murder you I'd go out and sing the blues

They stole your gold, your sword, your house Tho you're turning 29
They stole your sheep, but not your spouse age to you is like fine wine

so you're 21 again Now you've lived another year
don't tell lies to your good friend age to you is like stale beer

So another year has passed Long ago your hair turned grey
don't look now they're gaining fast! now it's falling out, they say

Black Death has just struck your town It's your birthday never fear
you yourself feel quite run-down You'll be dead this time next year

We brought linen, white as cloud See the wrinkles on your face
Now we'll sit and sew your shroud! Like the pattern of fine lace

So far death you have bypassed Indigestion's what you get
Don't look back it's gaining fast From the enemies you 'et
