These are the Happy Birthday lyrics for the best known version of the traditional Happy Birthday song that is sung by many in the United States and which has been translated or rewritten into other languages around the world. Additionally, it is often sung in English even by people that speak little or no English. The real name of the song is “Happy Birthday to You” and it is often listed as the most recognized song in the English language. Enjoy the Happy Birthday to You lyrics.

While there is controversy, the melody is generally attributed to two sisters, Mildred and Patty Hill, who wrote it for a song called “Good Morning to All”. The actual birthday lyrics seemed to have no specific origin but were first combined with the melody in print in 1912. (About 100 years ago!) Is there a copyright? Well one is claimed and royalties are often paid to use it.

Want to have fun and avoid controversy, sing our song. I just hope that your dog doesn’t complain. Down boy.
