So, I'm trying to write a song for a friend of mine whose birthday was tued the 22nd, and we'll be celebrating with some friends and family on sun the 27. I'm kinda cheap, so i thought a song would be really nice, and i could play for everyone and we'd sing along... least that's the hope. Only problem is that I'm totally stuck on lyrics, maybe I've been doing too much math lately but my vocab seems limited to, Happy Birthday Kyle, yay you're 19 and... ya, that's it.

So, i was hoping maybe you guys knew some words i could toss in about it being someones birthday, or something like that. I want it to be fun, and i need a catchy chorus. thanks~

I'm atheist,remember (there was a thread on this matter,my (inexistent) religion :toungue2:)...?So who cares what u'll be singing on Easter day?As long as it's not Christmas carols,it's okay,i guess...:-pI know I'm cute.
