[LM_NET] Unusual birthday song- do you know it?

[barbara <bawall@NORTHNET.ORG>]

A friend's family always sings the following song for birthdays, but no one
knows where it came from or how it really started.  Do you know the history
of this song by any chance?

"It's somebody's birthday today (x2)
The candles are lighted on somebody's cake
And we're all invited
For somebody's cake
An old fashioned table is set
For the one that we'll never forget
Happy birthday to you
And many more too
Because it's your birthday today"

There is a guy on  Youtube who sings it and says it his family song as well
but also does not know the origin.

Anyone know it or have ideas on how to find it?  Thanks in advance.
