Birthday Song

I wrote a song for Val's birthday this year, because I am tired of the tyranny of "Happy Birthday." It's a shitty song. The melody is bad, and the lyrics express nothing. Plus you're supposed to pay the Boy Scouts of America when you sing it. NO THANK YOU.
So here is a better one which is free. If you want to play it yourself, the chords are a pretty obvious mixture of C, F, and G. It's even easier than "Wish You Were Here."
You can download it or embed a flash player at the Internet Archive, here
or play or download it at supload, here (where I have also written out the lyrics for you). [note: this one auto-plays when you click the link, and loops unless you stop it. It's kind of geared toward ring tones.]

Many thanks to Ciro for sound teching. It is not easy to pull something with audio depth out of a dangling USB microphone.
