A Birthday Gift from Me to You

Because it is customary in some cultures for the person celebrating their birthday to be the one who gives out gifts, I thought I would give all of you a gift this morning by mentioning each of you in a special birthday song ('each of you' only includes my Facebook friends - to be included in next year's song, friend me).

It is sung to the tune of "I am the Very Model of a Modern Major General":
