Happy Birthday

[JMLanders]

I've decided when I get to 50, my bithdays are going back down again, just like my old Montego's clock, when it got to 160,000 miles!

This brings that old song "My Grandfathers Clock (was too large for the shelf, so it stood 90 years on the floor...)"

I've decided when I get to 50, my bithdays are going back down again, just like my old Montego's clock, when it got to 160,000 miles!

This brings that old song "My Grandfathers Clock (was too large for the shelf, so it stood 90 years on the floor...)"

You mean this one?

My grandfather's clock was too large for the shelf,
So it stood ninety years on the floor.
It was taller by half, than the old man himself,
Though it weighed not a pennyweight more.
It was bought on the morn of the day that he was born,
And was always his treasure and pride.
Chorus:
But it stopped short, never to go again,
When the old man died.
Ninety years without slumbering, tick, tock, tick, tock,
His life seconds numbering, tick, tock, tick, tock,
It stopped short never to go again,
When the old man died.
