The Birthday Song

HOLY CARP!!!
Today, the chaplains recognized my upcoming birthday in accordance with their tradition - first, singing the traditional song, but each person sort of ad libbing, singing completely off key, different tempo, different rythmns, etc. - it is truly a hideous thing. Then, they follow up with this upbeat song of their own composition, more of a depressing monotone chant accompanied with thumping their fists on the tabletop:

Happy birthday (thump),
Happy birthday (thump),
There is crying in the air,
People dying everywhere
But happy birthday (thump),
Happy birthday (thump).

I'm pissed that the check hasn't gotten here yet, but the chaplains themselves are a sick, twisted lot. I fit right in. ^_^
