    hein: Yeah. Let's award ourselves a fat Synchronpunkt and go off to the pub. Mine's a large red wine. Have a good WE!

    Happy birthday to you,
    You live in a zoo.
    You look like a monkey,
    And you smell like one too.

    ...is what I remember from my childhood. (AE)
    Obviously, it doesn't have the food theme...but I thought it was worth posting.

    Happy Birthday to you
    Squashed bananas and stew
    You look like a monkey
    And you act like one too!

    That was the version the kids sang at my school.

    @Benson: That was another close one. The NZ version seems to combine the food theme with the monkey theme (and what do monkeys eat...?)

    Another monkey version:
    Happy birthday to you
    I went to the zoo
    I saw a big monkey
    And I thought it was you.

    Just to add the mninor monkey variant I know and my 5-year-old has sung at least once a day since we recently celebrated a couple of birthdays in the family:

    Happy birthday to you,
    Squashed tomatoes and stew.
    You look like a monkey,
    And you live in the zoo.

    So kenn ich das. Und dann gab's noch:

    Happy birthday to you,
    Stick your head in the loo.

    Aber weiter weiß ich leider nicht mehr, sorry!
