Happy birthday to you—

Your son's seventeen

And he knows how to drive.

Do you feel old yet?

 

Happy birthday to you—

Mark Hamill has a beard.

He's older than his "father."

How's that make you feel?

 

Happy birthday to you—

One name: Michael Bay.

Transformers and turtles

Are ruined for you.

 

Happy birthday to you—

You've lost all your hair.

Oh boy! What a conundrum.

Just look at your kids!

 

Happy birthday to you—

Atari is dead.

The guy who made Zelda is nearing retirement.

And Capcom is screwed.

 

I have one last thing;

I'll tell it to you:

Your parents are sixty

And I have to shave.
