In 2002, Tori fans were invited to host "Happy Birthday" parties for Tori Amos around the US to raise money for RAINN, the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network. As a thank you, a package was sent to all party hosts which included a CD with this a capella "Birthday Song" sung by Tori herself.
Lyrics by Tori Amos
Don't know what I'm about to say
guess that it's somebody's birthday
but I think I like
cake all over
Yes, I know it's a pretty good time
to be with people with like minds
don't know what to say, never did
So, chocolate and berry
vanilla, oh don't get carried
away, but why not
when it's your birthday
It could be of a friend
It could be of someone that
you're not quite knowing
but why not, I say
Don't know what to say
guess it's somebody's birthday
and I know I wouldn't want to
spend it any way
but with you, so
I need go and
I need you to know,
thank you
