Birthday songs
Comments (4)There were a few camp-specific songs I remember when someone had a summer birthday. (For some reason I remember the girl who played Oliver in like 1970 or so had a summer birthday.)
This one was just a chant:
Happy Birthday (unh)
Happy Birthday (unh)
There is sorrow everywhere and
people dying everywhere
But Happy Birthday (unh)
Happy Birthday (unh)
The birthday kiss one??
This was another chant/cheer. I can’t remember how the beginning went.
Wait, two days later, I can remember…
Today is somebody’s birthday
Who’s birthday?
Susan’s birthday
How old is she?
[then you'd clap the right number of times]
13 years old and never been kissed?
This was always done in the mess hall, and it would end with everyone saying (using whatever names there were):
Jimmy give Susie a birthday kiss, Jimmy give Susie a birthday kiss…
This would go on until the hoped for Jimmy would make his way from the boys’ side of the mess hall to the girls’ side and give Susie a kiss…
The other one, I never knew all the lyrics, but hopefully someone can supply the middle two lines:
Kings and queens and princes too
Blah blah blah blah blah blah (some word that ended with an oo sound)
Blah blah blah blah blah blah (some word that ended with an oo sound)
Happy Birthday…to you
