    The one the restaurants use and the copyrighted one that families use.

    Restaurant: “happy happy birthday from all of us to you. We wish it was our birthday so we could party too! Hey!”

    Family/copyright: “happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday, -name-. Happy birthday to you.”

      There’s another one used when the copyrighted one was still copyrighted.

      “haa-py, happy, happy birthday. Happy birthday to you”
