Popular with African Americans. No idea why.

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..."

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.

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!

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.

It's not even musically appropriate to the melody.

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

NO. That seems kind of...odd!

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?
