The Birthday Song by Irish sergeant
(Sung to the tune of Silver Threads among the Gold)

Irish sergeant's Comment:  I post a parody for you.  If you know anyone with a really good sense of humour or someone you don't care if you offend it is a birthday song.  Like "Happy Birthday", any name can be inserted instead of "Darling".  I thought it up on the spur of the moment at a reenactment for someone's birthday one year.  So far, people have been laughing too hard to kick my tailfeathers for singing it.

Darling you are growing ancient,
Rocks don't live as long as you.
You're not quite as old as God is,
But you're older than primordial stew.
Yes, Oh Darling you will be, will be,
Older than the rocks and trees.
Yes, Oh darling you will be,
Older than the rocks and trees.
