I have to admit that I cheated and used Google’s language tools, then translated it back and did a search on the translation, just to make sure that I wasn’t wishing Norman something other than intended.

...but I think he’s well aware of how I maul the German language with my extremely limited knowledge of it.

I believe that they might, but I could be wrong. When I took French in high school, we learned how to sing it in French, but I have forgotten much of the French that I knew.

Is it sung in French in Canada?

Wee, just got back on the board today. Thank you, friends, that is very kind of you all! I also got two nice german cylinders, an Echo and an Electra one with interesting comic selections. What a great cylindrical day!

Well there is that " Bonne fete a toi ..." version of Happy B'day. But in Quebec they usually sing the birthday version of" Gens du pays" ( Mon cher ami c'est a ton tour etc etc)
