We always sang it this way as kids but I can’t recall anyone doing it in recent years outside of our family that is.
Do you and your family sing this way? |

| Never heard that. Were you raised in a religious group, OP? |

| It's not even musically appropriate to the melody. |

| They sang this for birthdays at my DD's NE DC elementary school (mostly AA students). I was really surprised when they broke out that verse the first time I brought a cake in for a birthday! Had never heard it before. |

The only one I've heard is:
Happy Birthday to you You live in a zoo You look like a monkey And you smell like one too! |

May God bless you,
In all that you do, May Jesus and Mary, Watch over you. This is a several generations old habit on one side of my family. No sneezing though. |

| I haven't heard that since I was a little kid. At Church we still sing it with that verse but not the sneezing. "May G-d bless you in all that you do..." |
