The Birthday Song -- Funeral Dirge Version

My family has this lovely low-pitched, slow-moving musical epilogue that we sing after every 'happy birthday to you™!' 

 It goes like this: 'Happy birthday. Oh happy birthday. There is misery in the air, people dying everywhere. So happy birthday.'

 It sounds like a funeral dirge. 

 And we always sing it, regardless of the calamities and deaths all around us. It cheers us up! I'm sure that there are times that we will skip it. Times when it would be too emotional and in poor taste, but most times, it just works for us. I got my subversive sense of humor from somewhere, people!

 Today is my friend's birthday! And I made her this adorable bunting:


Isn't that so sweet?
happy birthday
there is misery
in the air
people dying everywhere
so ... happy birthday!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HOLLY! Eat some cake for me.
