Happy Birthday From The Stars Words and music by Patricia Reiff, July 4, 2008 Arranged, performed, and sung by Shai Fishman
I hear that it's your birthday, the news is trav'ling far It's orbiting around the Earth, and heading to the stars
Chorus: Happy Birthday! The stars sing you a song And they'll be oh so happy, if you will sing a long!
The news it circled 'round the Moon, and gave the Moon a smile; And wandered off to Venus, and lingered there a while; At Mercury it stayed to see, that planet's bashful side And shadowed craters at the poles, where ice can stay and hide
(chorus)
The Sun it laughed to hear the news and bellowed out a cheer Which sailed upon the solar wind for nearly all a year The news was just too good to keep, it's heading to the stars; But on its way it gave a wave to the robots down on Mars.
(chorus)
At Jupiter it gathered steam, from Io's orange blast And watched the jovian northern lights, as it went streaming past The rocky rings of Saturn, they covered it in dust So it took a little shower, at the font Enceladus
(chorus)
It zoomed away to Uranus, with its skinny dusty rings Then played a tune on Neptune, with Triton's singing springs And now it's passing Voyager, it's left our Sun behind; And heading to the Milky Way where all the stars do shine
(chorus)
And guess what those stars all joined in, when they heard the news? They pulled themselves together to give Birthday Cheer to You!
Final Chorus: Happy Birthday! The stars bring you their cheer And we all send you wishes for a su-per-nov-a year!
