The Lyrics
Lest any of you forget, April 4th is/was my birthday. You are welcome (at any point in the year, actually) to buy me elaborate gifts. I'm too lazy to write thank-you notes, so instead please accept Robert Lund's recording of this song.
Well I guess you'll have a blast
To celebrate your birthday
You know not every birthday
Has got a number so high
But you'd better act fast
Before this day comes 'round again
'Cause Death is waiting 'round the bend
And you have caught his eye
Although you're hardly worthwhile
'Cause squandered chances
Have pinned your prospects face down to the mat
Go on, observe your birth while
The void advances
And drown your sorrows in a pile
Of sugar, starch and fat
'Cause you get to have cake
You get to have cake
Because you get to have cake
You get to have cake cake cake
Baby
Dress all your guests in party hats
Because arrest of cardiac
Hasn't snuffed you out yet
Maybe
This year your emptiness will change
And all your kids won't be estranged
But that's an unsafe bet
Ask God 'bout sorrow
And God won't answer
There's far more holy crap to stress about
Oh baby, because tomorrow
Aggressive cancer
Will crash your birthday party
Just to blow your candles out
But you get to have cake
You get to have cake
Because you get to have cake cake cake
You get to have cake cake cake!
To celebrate your birthday
You know not every birthday
Has got a number so high
But you'd better act fast
Before this day comes 'round again
'Cause Death is waiting 'round the bend
And you have caught his eye
Although you're hardly worthwhile
'Cause squandered chances
Have pinned your prospects face down to the mat
Go on, observe your birth while
The void advances
And drown your sorrows in a pile
Of sugar, starch and fat
'Cause you get to have cake
You get to have cake
Because you get to have cake
You get to have cake cake cake
Baby
Dress all your guests in party hats
Because arrest of cardiac
Hasn't snuffed you out yet
Maybe
This year your emptiness will change
And all your kids won't be estranged
But that's an unsafe bet
Ask God 'bout sorrow
And God won't answer
There's far more holy crap to stress about
Oh baby, because tomorrow
Aggressive cancer
Will crash your birthday party
Just to blow your candles out
But you get to have cake
You get to have cake
Because you get to have cake cake cake
You get to have cake cake cake!

Happy Birthday Spaff! I already heard this song on your web site awhile ago but it's good to be able to finally comment on it. I enjoyed this one almost as much as I enjoy cake. The only thing that could have made this better is if it was a parody of a Cake song.
Now get Robert to re-record it to Limp Bizkit's remake of "Faith."
'CAUSE YOU GET TO HAVE CAAAAAAKE!!

^ to the Knight above ^ Lord McLewd, how's your DitkaDiva ? ? Is she pining for F'ball Season ? ?
Funny. Now where's the other birthday song ("Hey Birthday Boy")?
It's no coincidence that Spaff rhymes with laugh. May you celebrate many more happy birthdays. Just give up on the candles, ok? I could see the glow from Dallas.
McKludge: Lawl! That's the same thing I said on thefump.com!
Spaff: Already heard the recording. Took you long long enough to put it on Amiright, though. (Just kidding, lol) Good job on the parody, especially on keeping with the overly-complex [rhyme scheme/poetry structure] of the OS.
555 for 4/4.

Happy Belated Birthday, Spaff! I wish you the best of luck on your special day. Well, you may have other well-wishers, so you could also be the birthday boy for a week if you want! I love cake, especially with buttercream frosted on it! I give you 5 vanilla buttercream, 5 chocolate, and 5 lemon cakes for this one! :)
Spaff, I can always count on you for laughs...sometimes rueful! And Happy Birthday!!! 5's
Somebody else says "Law"? Law...:)
@ noClawDiva - Just the other day she lamented on how football season was too short compared to the basketball and hockey seasons. But baseball is becoming a substitute.
Happy Birthday, Spaffy...just a little late. Hope it was lovely and cake filled.
On a side note...this was lovely, too. =)

I heartily apologize for missing your birthday (especially since I made such a big deal of my own last, what with it being a dubious milestone), but here's a 5 you can unwrap. I'm surprised nobody made a reference (though apparently undeserved) to Marie Antoinette.
WHAM! Laugh! Thank you, Spaff! Only worry when you STOP having birthdays. :)
Heard the recording a couple months ago, loved it, and Im glad to vote 555 on it!
You people are just lovely! Thanx, Matthias & McKludge & noClawDiva (I think) & Rex & Jonathan & CMM & adagio & Arwen & Michael & OMR & Jackie! I hope you all enjoyed my birthday as much as I did.
Phil N: The "Hey Birthday Boy" collection WILL happen. Really. I promise.
