Post Your Birthday Wishes Round the Ole F-B

If you don't know "Tie a Yellow Ribbon", this will look a little stupid and self-serving. If you do, same...Happy Birthday David!

(With appropriate apologies to Tony Orlando & Dawn).

I'm o'er the hill, I've done my time.
Now, I've got to know which friends are really mine.
If you received my post telling you that I'd soon turn fif-ty,
Then you'll know just what to do,
If you still friend me, if you still friend me.

Whoa, post your birthday wishes round the ole F-B.
It's been fifty years, do you still friend me?
If I don't see your wishes coming through today to me,
I'll temporarily pretend, that you never were my friend, and put the blame on thee.
If I don't see your wishes coming through, today to me.

Young daughter, check my wall for me,
'Cause I couldn't bear to see what I might see.
I'm in a competition and my friends, they hold the key.
Your simple birthday greetings will help me top my family,
And I wrote that post to ask you please...

Whoa, post your birthday wishes round the ole F-B.
It's been fifty years, do you still friend me?
If I don't see your wishes coming through today to me,
I'll make a little fuss, forget about us, and put the blame on thee.
If I don't see your wishes coming through today to me.

Now the whole damned net is cheerin',
And I can't believe I see...
A hundred thousand wishes round the ole F-B.
I'm winnin' now.

Send your wishes round the ole F-B
Send your wishes if you still friend me
Send your wishes if your friends friend me
Send your wishes in a post to me
Send your wishes just by liking me
Or by liking someone else's post to me
You can also send your wishes with a call to me
And send your wishes though you don't know me...

<Fade out> 
(The music that is, not this guy - the 50 year-old with thumbs pointed proudly at his chest.)
