You’re having a birthday!
We honor the date.
You’ve just turned a hundred!
(At least in Base Eight!)
You finally know how a century feels
On your mathematical birthday.
It’s your mathematical birthday!
Hope your mathematical birthday’s
Gonna be great!
You’ve lived it up so far,
But you can do more.
You’re batting a thousand!
(At least in Base Four!)
Let’s see what your second millennium brings
On your mathematical birthday.
For your mathematical birthday,
Let your mathematical family
See what’s in store!
‘Though you’re getting older,
No need to feel blue.
You look like a million!
(At least in Base Two!)
With “binary wishes and digital dreams,”
Have a mathematical birthday.
On your mathematical birthday,
May your mathematical wishes
Always come true!
But still, there’s some bad news.
In hexadecimal, you’ve turned forty.
(And God knows, life ends at forty!)
But don’t get discouraged --
We’ll try it again,
And recount your birthday
In standard Base Ten.
The “Big Sixty-Four” is the reason we’re here
For your mathematical birthday
On your mathematical birthday.
Happy Mathematical Birthday!
(Happy Birthday To You!)
