have a wonderful birthday , walter !
here is our favourite new year's song for you (but it'll also do for a birthday - that's a new year too :wink: )

perhaps you can hear me singing :

Enjoy yourself (it's later than you think)
-----------------------------------------------
(Album: Too Much Too Young )

Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think
Enjoy yourself, while you're still in the pink
The years go by, as quickly as you wink
Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself,
It's later than you think

Hello, I'm WALTER
And I'm going to enjoy myself first

It's good to be wise when you're young
'Cos you can only be young but the once
Enjoy yourself and have lots of fun
So glad and live life longer than you've ever done

Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think
Enjoy yourself, while you're still in the pink
The years go by, as quickly as you wink
Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself,
It's later than you think

Never right, yes I know
Get wisdom, knowledge and understanding
These three, were given free by the maker
Go to school, learn the rules, don't be no faker
It's not wise for you to be a foot stool

Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think
Enjoy yourself, while you're still in the pink
The years go by, as quickly as you wink
Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself,
It's later than you think

Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think
Enjoy yourself, while you're still in the pink
The years go by, as quickly as you wink
Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself,
It's later than you think

walter : i've been searching for the ringelnaz poem "kuddel datteldu" but can't locate it .
i think i might have it in one of my books .
so here is another beautiful poem by ringelnatz for your enjoyment !
hbg

Abschied der Seeleute

Chor der Seeleute:

Wir Fahrensleute
Lieben die See.
Die Seemannsbräute
Gelten für heute,
Sind nur für to-day.

Die Mädchen, die weinen,
Sind schwach auf den Beinen.
Was schert uns ihr Weh !
Das Weh, ach das legt sich.
Unsre Heimat bewegt sich
Und trägt uns in See,
Far-away.

Chor der Mädchen:

Wir, die Bräute
Der Fahrensleute,
Lieben und küssen,
Doch wissen, sie müssen
Zur Seefahrt zurück.

Und wenn sie ertrinken,
Dann - wissen wir - winken
Uns andre zum Glück

Vom Seemann Kuttel Daddeldu

Eine Bark lief ein in Le Haver,
Von Sidnee kommend, nachts elf Uhr drei.
Es roch nach Himbeeressig am Kai,
Und nach Hundekadaver.

Kuttel Daddeldu ging an Land.
Die Rü Albani war ihm bekannt.
Er kannte nahezu alle Hafenplätze.
Weil vor dem ersten Hause ein Mädchen stand,
Holte er sich im ersten Haus von dem Mädchen die Krätze.

Weil er das aber natürlich nicht gleich empfand,
Ging er weiter, - kreuzte topplastig auf wilder Fahrt.
Achtzehn Monate Heuer hatte er sich zusammengespart.
In Nr. 6 traktierte er Eiwie und Kätchen,
In 8 besoff ihn ein neues, straff lederbusiges Weib.

Nebenan bei Pierre sind allein sieben gediegene Mädchen,
Ohne die mit dem Zelluloid-Unterleib.
Daddeldu, the old Seelerbeu Kuttel,
Verschenkte den Albatrosknochen,
Das Haifischrückgrat, die Schals,

Den Elefanten und die Saragossabuttel.
Das hatte er eigentlich alles der Mary versprochen,
Der anderen Mary; das war seine feste Braut.
Daddeldu - Hallo! Daddeldu,
Daddeldu wurde fröhlich und laut.

Er wollte mit höchster Verzerrung seines Gesichts
Partu einen Niggersong singen
Und »Blu beus blu«.
Aber es entrang sich ihm nichts.
Daddeldu war nicht auf die Wache zu bringen.

Daddeldu Duddel Kuttelmuttel, Katteldu
Erwachte erstaunt und singend morgens um vier
Zwischen Nasenbluten und Pomm de Schwall auf der Pier.
Daddeldu bedrohte zwecks Vorschuß den Steuermann,
Schwitzte den Spiritus aus. Und wusch sich dann.

Daddeldu ging nachmittags wieder an Land,
Wo er ein Renntiergeweih, eine Schlangenhaut,
Zwei Fächerpalmen und Eskimoschuhe erstand.
Das brachte er aus Australien seiner Braut.

A three-day rolling birthday? Wow!

Even the Queen (Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain and the Commonwealth) only has two birthdays: her actual one, and her official one.

No-one in the history of the World has ever had three, up till now.

Hail to Herr Hinteler!

Very Happy Very Happy :wink: Very Happy
