sorry to be nit-picky but an Irish lyric means that it is from ireland...

I have three pages of lyrics to this I picked up somewhere.

I first heard this as

   Happy Birthday
   Happy Birthday
   One year closer to death
   Happy Birthday

but the verses I have collected have two lines, like

   Happy Birthday, UGH!
   May the candles on your cake
   Burn like cities in your wake
   Happy Birthday, UGH!

There's no copyright notice on this that I recall, so maybe I'll type them 
in.  Or, Barbara and the first (not more than) 4 others that send me their 
snail mail addresses can receive Xerox copies and decide whether they want to 

bother to type them in.

Some years ago, at a Philcon, when I had only heard the first, one-line 
version of the song, not yet having been given the collected 30-40 verses, 
Larry Niven wandered in to the filksing, listened for 15 minutes or so, sang 
5 of the verses from memory, and wandered out again...

There is a variation on this, or vice versa, called the Mongol Wedding Song, 
which I have *not* got any collected verses for.  (Hint, THUD...)  I suppose 
any local SCA bard would have the words to both.

Well, no... the "5th line" becomes the "1st line" of the next verse.
I.e. there's two "Happy Birthday" lines, 2 verse lines, 2 more
Happy Birthdays, 2 more verse lines, etc. until everyone runs out

As reconstructed from memory:

Happy Birthday <stomp> Happy Birthday <stomp>
Doom and gloom and dark despair
People dying everywhere
Happy Birthday <stomp> Happy Birthday <stomp>

When you reach the age you are 
Your demise can not be far
Happy Birthday <stomp> Happy Birthday <stomp>

May the candles on your cake
Burn like cities in your wake
Happy Birthday <stomp> Happy Birthday <stomp>

I seem to recall there's one other verse, but it escapes me at
the moment. Oh, and the <stomp>'s may just be a regional addition.
I don't know the name of the tune, but it reminds me of dirge-
like music you might find in a Bugs Bunny cartoon.

Mothers: 

  SM> Ai, yi, yi, yi, your mother prims after sloop rips 
  SM> So sing me another verse worse than the last verse 
  SM> And waltz me around by my willy!

Roight.

Your mommy does Hollywood pelts coil
For another two bits she's a dance goil
Folks like Gary Cooper
She puts in a stupor
'Cause her punchbowl holds Vitalis Hair Oil!

Ai, yi, yi, yi, your mother trims after Coop dips 
So sing me another verse worse than the first verse 
And waltz me around again, Willie!

There was a young man from Cape Horn
Who wished he had never been born
Nor would he have been
If his parents had seen
That the end of the condom was torn...

Ai, yi, yi, yi, his father's flim-sy "No-Droop" rips!
So sing him another verse worse than the next verse 
And waltz him around by his willy!!

-MMM-
