when's my birthday?
where's my birthday?
how many days until my birthday?

i'd like a pony for my birthday
and a necklace for my birthday.
i'd like a chicken for my birthday.
i'd like a ball to bounce and bounce.

i'd like a big cake on my birthday
with lots of chocolate on my birthday
and lots of candles on my birthday
1,2,3,4,5, and 6!
