Mongolian Birthday Song

To the tune of Volga Boatman

Happy Birthday (Grunt)
Happy Birthday (Grunt)


Death, destruction and despair,
People dying everywhere
Happy Birthday (Grunt)
Happy Birthday (Grunt)


May the candles on your cake,
Burn like cities in your wake
Happy Birthday (Grunt)
Happy Birthday (Grunt)


Now that you're the age you are,
Your demise cannot be far
Happy Birthday (Grunt)
Happy Birthday (Grunt)


Make the women wail and weep,
Slay them all but spare the sheep
Happy Birthday (Grunt)
Happy Birthday (Grunt)
