This song is available on Dr. Thomas Moore's "Sing a Song of Holidays"

When (child’s name) has a birthday,
A birthday, a birthday,
When (child’s name) has a birthday,
We’ll sing (him, her) a song.

We’ll sing (her, him) a song,
But that song won’t be long;
When (child’s name) has a birthday,
We’ll sing (her, him) a song.

When (child’s name) has a birthday, etc.
We’ll dance ‘round and ‘round,
We’ll dance ‘round and ‘round,
But we won’t make a sound, etc.

When (child’s name) has a birthday, etc.
We’ll all clap our hands (clap)
We’ll clap hands to say
How old (child’s name) is today, etc.

(Ask child’s age and clap that number together.
Children’s stand in a circle with birthday child in center)
