A decision in the States about the song Happy Birthday being out of copyright means we can sing it with gay abandon without having to pay royalties.

"Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you. You look like a Kangaroo. Get back to the Zoo."

What's that? You never paid a penny? You very bad people, you should be ashamed of yourselves. :evil: :evil: :evil:

"Happy Birthday to you,
I went to the zoo,
I saw a big monkey,
And it smelled just like you!!"

I was a charming child.................... ;) :P :lol: :lol:

We were allowed to sing it in private, but not broadcast it ;)

I think our version was You look like a monkey, and you smell like one too :D

Bb says his was Happy birthday to you, mashed potatoes and stew, but he's watching some 'exciting' pool tournament and can't remember the rest.
Probably just as well, I need him off the norty step and on the plane in less than 48 hours :D

Happy Birthday to you
Squashed tomatoes and stew,
Bread and butter in the gutter.
Happy Birthday to you!

That was another one :lol: :lol: :lol:
