      The one the restaurants use and the copyrighted one that families use.

      Restaurant: “happy happy birthday from all of us to you. We wish it was our birthday so we could party too! Hey!”

      Family/copyright: “happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday, -name-. Happy birthday to you.”

        There’s another one used when the copyrighted one was still copyrighted.

        “haa-py, happy, happy birthday. Happy birthday to you”

      There’s also the “It’s your birthday, it’s your birthday!” chant that people do. Not The Birthday Song, but a birthday song.

      Edit: after researching it, I guess it’s 50 Cent, I’d always heard it, but never knew the source:

    My gift to anyone celebrating a birthday is to not sing. There’s probably other gifts. but trust me. Insisting I sing… you’ll regret it.
