Jolly Holiday Songtext
von Sherman Brothers

Ain′t it a glorious day?
Right as a mornin' in May
I feel like I could fly
Now Bert, none of your larking about

Have you ever seen
The grass so green
Or a bluer sky?

Oh, it′s a jolly holiday with Mary
Mary makes your heart so light
You haven't changed a bit, have you?

When the day is gray and ordinary
Mary makes the sun shine bright
Oh, honestly

Oh, happiness is bloomin' all around her
The daffodils are smilin′ at the dove
When Mary holds your hand you feel so grand
Your heart starts beatin′ like a big brass band
You are lightheaded


It's a jolly holiday with Mary
No wonder that it′s Mary that we love

Oh, It's a jolly holiday with Mary
Mary makes your heart so light
When the day is gray and ordinary
Mary makes the sun shine bright

Oh, happiness is bloomin′ all around her
The daffodils are smilin' at the dove
When Mary holds your hand, you feel so grand
Your heart starts beatin′ like a big brass band

It's a jolly holiday with Mary
No wonder that it's Mary that we love

Oh, it′s a jolly holiday with you, Bert
Gentlemen like you are few
A vanishing breed, that′s me

Though your just a diamond in the rough, Bert
Underneath, your blood is blue
Common knowledge


You'd never think of pressing your advantage
Forbearance is the hallmark of your creed, true
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

It′s true that Mavis and Sybil have ways that are winning
And Prudence and Gwendolyn set your heart spinnin'
Phoebe′s delightful, Maude is disarming
Janice, Felicia, Lydia charming

Cynthia is dashing, Vivian's sweet
Stephanie's smashing, Priscilla a treat
Veronica, Millicent, Agnes and Jane
Convival company, time and again

Drocas and Phyllis and Glynis are sorts
I′ll agree are three jolly good sports
But cream of the crop, tip of the top
It′s Mary Poppins and there we stop
