(Minstrel picked up her instrument, and began to strum the first note of Happy Birthday, but thought better of it, switching it to a livelier tune)
It's not that tune you've all heard
It's stupid, slow, and saccharine
And sure to make you snore
So I've got something different
Just hear what lies in store:
In keeping with the theme of tossing
Trite tradition to the wind
And slaying all the nay-sayers
Who should've been more thick-skinned
A special song that's just for you,
And done right off the cuff
And just 'tween us it is also
A chance to show my stuff
So Happy birthday from the Minstrel
(The music picks up faster)
Oh! If you believe Copernicus, the world is but a ball
Whose spinning brings us summer, spring and winter and then fall
Around the sun, a year is done, and you're still standing tall
Despitesataniccircumstanceeee...
Have the best birthday of alllll!
