JOLLY HOLIDAY
Ain’t it a glorious day?
Right as a mornin’ in May.
I feel like I could fly!
Have you ever seen the grass so green,
Or a bluer sky?
Oh, it’s a jolly ‘oliday with Mary.
Mary makes your ‘eart so light!
When the day is gray and ordinary,
Mary makes the sun shine bright!
Oh, ‘appiness is bloomin’ all around ‘er
The daffodils are smilin’ at the dove
When Mary ‘olds your ‘and, you feel so grand,
Your ‘eart starts beatin’ like a big brass band!
Oh, it’s a jolly ‘oliday with Mary,
No wonder that it’s Mary that we love!
Boring! Just like other nannies
Thinking parks are good for us
It’s just statues, ducks, and grannies
I don’t understand all the fuss!
Is she doing it to spite us?
We could lose her for a lark!
Perhaps it’s all a plot; I’ll tell you what:
She seemed so different but I bet she’s not.
There is nothing to excite us in the park.
Oh, it’s a jolly holiday with you, Bert.
Gentlemen like you are few.
Though you’re just a diamond in the rough, Bert,
Underneath your blood is blue!
You’d never think of pressing your advantage;
Forbearance is the hallmark of your creed.
A lady needn’t fear when you are near;
Your sweet gentility is crystal clear!
Oh, it’s a jolly holiday with you, Bert,
A jolly, jolly holiday with you!
Let’s go for a jaunty saunter
We are bound to make our mark
Looks like all of us were all born to
Take a promenade in the park
With our finely-chiseled features
We can look down from above.
When Mary holds your hand you feel so grand!
Your heart starts beating like a big brass band!
Oh, it’s a jolly holiday with Mary,
No wonder that it’s Mary that we love!
Oh, it’s a jolly ‘oliday with Mary.
Mary makes your ‘eart so light!
When the day is gray and ordinary,
Mary makes the sun shine bright!
Oh, ‘appiness is bloomin’ all around ‘er,
The daffodils are smilin’ at the dove.
When Mary ‘olds your ‘and, you feel so grand,
Your ‘eart starts beatin’ like a big brass band!
Oh, it’s a jolly ‘oliday with Mary,
No wonder that it’s Mary that we love,
No wonder that it’s Mary that we love!
