I've had the first verse or simply a verse to this song stuck in my head since I heard it over the PA at Monta Vista. Today I used the miracle of Google and found out plenty more verses. (My verse was 'noxious gases fill the air/people dying everywhere'. )

Have a great day before the covid-19 strikes you!

Happy Birthday! Happy Birthday!
Now you've aged another year
Now you know that Death is near
But, Happy Birthday! Happy Birthday!


Happy Birthday! Happy Birthday!
Children dying far and near
They say that cancer's caused by beer
But, Happy Birthday! Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday! Happy Birthday!
Death, destruction, and despair
People dying everywhere
But, Happy Birthday! Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday! Happy Birthday!
Typhoid, plague and polio
Coffins lined up in a row
But, Happy Birthday! Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday! Happy Birthday!
Now that you're the age you are
Your demise cannot be far
But, Happy Birthday! Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday! Happy Birthday!
Black Death has just struck your town
You yourself feel quite run-down
But, Happy Birthday! Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday! Happy Birthday!
Birthdays come but once a year
Marking time as Death draws near
Happy Birthday! Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday! Happy Birthday!
Long ago your hair turned grey
Now it's falling out, they say
But, Happy Birthday! Happy Birthday!
