The Dutch have several traditional songs for birthdays, but this is one of the fun ones. Make sure to give the birthday celebrant 3 air-kisses when you greet them & say Congratulations or GEFELICITEERD.
And for even more fun, the last line can be repeated over and over to match the age of the person whose birthday is being celebrated. I hope that somebody is keeping count!

Remember to throw your hands up in the air at the end when you sing Hip, hip, hip, hoera!
