The Happy Birthday Song
(Sung to the tune, "We wish you a Merry Christmas"
We wish you a Happy Birthday
We wish you a Happy Birthday
We wish you a Happy Birthday
And health through the year
 
Now bring us some cake and ice-cream
Now bring us some cake and ice-cream
Now bring us some cake and ice-cream
And leave it right here
 
We're all here to thank the Goddess
We're all here to thank the Goddess
We're all here to thank the Goddess
And be of good cheer
 
We'll leave you some love and gifts
We'll leave you some love and gifts
We'll leave you some love and gifts
When you run out of beer
 
Chorus:
Our blessings to you
And all of your kin
And blessings for your joy
And Love through the year!
 
 
The Garden Child
A tiny child in a garden of flowers
Touching each stem and leaf
She knows love, life and joy
And knows nothing of pain and grief
 
With tender joy, she pets the cat
Who follows her around
 The cat purrs then loudly
And lays down on the cool ground
 
This child then, at simple play
With the joy of beauty in her heart
May we never take it away from her
May we never break her heart
 
Boredom
Nothing to do; Nothing to see
What can I do with little old me?
 
Should I write a song, or surf the net,
Carve some wood or make a bet?
 
All these things I could do
But I want to try something new
 
Just what it is, I don't yet know
But when I find it, I'll learn and grow
 
Run
Run, run, feel the burn
Feel the joy it brings
Run, run, feel the burn
Your blood and muscles sing
 
Run through the day
And through the night
Not far to go
Don't give up the fight
 
Almost there
Can't stop now
Though our lungs do burn
And we've sweat on our brow
 
We've done it now
The race is won
The battle is over
The war now is done
 
Dance Song
Chorus:
Today we dance, laugh and sing
As we dance around the ring
We'll tap our toes and swing around
And laugh with the friends we've found
 
Swing your girl and move your feet
Keep on dancing to the beat
Kiss your man to give a thrill
And let the night have it's will

The World Makes Nice Things

Chorus:
Oh, the world makes nice things
For you to eat and see
The world has nice things
For you to make and be

The world makes nice things
And I'm grateful for them
The world makes nice things
I'll tell you about them:

Coffee, pop-corn, lollipops, tea
Candy, chips, steak, Hi-C
Cocoa, pizza, fries and cheese
Popsicles, fudicles, and ice-cream

Telephones, music, games, TV
Rocking chairs, computers and cd's
Word processors, software, videotapes
Clothes and lighbulbs and songs on tape

Teacher, banker, waiter, waitress
singer, dancer, actor, actress
clerk, secretary or gopher
Songwriter, webmaster, or soldier
