The story of the song “Happy Birthday to You” Began as a sweet one, but later became bitter. Two sisters, Mildred Hill, a teacher at a kindergarten, and Dr. Patty Hill, the principal of the same school, wrote a song together for the children, entitled “Good Morning to All”. When Mildred combined her musical talents with her sister s knowledge in the area of kindergarten education, Good Morning to All” was sure to be a success.

Task 1: Thank You for the Music
I m nothing special; in fact I m a bit of a bore
If I tell a joke, you re probably heard it before
But I have a talent, a wonderful thing
Cause everyone listens when I start to sing
I m so grateful and proud
All I want is to sing it out loud

What would life be

So I say
Thank you for the music, the songs I m singing
