# Happy Anniversary!

12 October 2004 · Ray Slakinski

Since our anniversary is today, I thought I'd post the lyrics to the single most popular anniversary song known to man, when looking for the lyrics I found out a little about the song (site defunct):

> ...most people don't realize that these lyrics, to the tune of "The William Tell Overture", were written by Bill Hanna and Joe Barbera for the episode titled "The Hot Piano".

So here are the Lyrics, Happy Anniversary Shannon :)
