The Sherman Brothers
Jolly Holiday
[BERT]
Ain't it a glorious day?
Right as a mornin' in May
I feel like I could fly
[MARY, spoken]
("Now Bert, none of your larking about")
[BERT]
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
[MARY, spoken]
("You haven't changed a bit, have you?")
[BERT]
When the day is gray and ordinary
Mary makes the sun shine bright
[MARY, spoken]
("Oh, honestly")
[BERT]
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
[MARY, spoken]
("*laughs* You are lightheaded")
[BERT]
It's a jolly 'oliday with Mary
No wonder that it's Mary that we love
[RAM]
Oh, it's a jolly 'oliday with Mary
[LAMBS]
Mary makes your heart so light
[HORSE]
When the day is gray and ordi-neigh-ry
[COW]
Mary makes the sun shinе bright
[GEESE]
Oh, 'appiness is bloomin' all around 'er
[PIG]
The daffodils arе smilin' at the dove
*oink, oink*
[BERT & FARM ANIMALS]
When Mary 'olds your 'and
You feel so grand
Your 'eart starts beatin' like
A big brass band!
It's a jolly 'oliday with Mary
No wonder that it's Mary that we love
[Orchestral Break]
[MARY]
Oh, it's a jolly holiday with you, Bert
Gentlemen like you are few
[BERT, spoken]
("A vanishing breed, that's me")
[MARY]
Though you're just a diamond
In the rough, Bert
Underneath your blood is blue
[BERT, spoken]
("Common knowledge")
[MARY]
You'd never think of pressing
Your advantage
Forbearance is the hallmark of your creed
[BERT, spoken]
("True")
[MARY]
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!
[Orchestral Break]
[BERT, spoken]
("It's true that Mavis and Sybil 'ave
Ways that are winning
And Prudence and Gwendolyn
Set your 'eart spinning
Phoebe's delightful, Maude is disarming")
[PENGUINS, spoken]
("Janice, Felicia, Lydia")
[BERT, spoken]
("Charming
Cynthia's dashing, Vivian's sweet
Stephanie's smashing, Priscilla a treat")
[PENGUINS, spoken]
("Veronica, Millicent, Agnes, and Jane")
[BERT, spoken]
("Convivial company, time and again
Dorcas and Phyllis and Glynis are sorts
I'll agree are three jolly good sports
But cream of the crop, tip of the top")
[BERT & PENGUINS spoken]
("Is Mary Poppins, and there we stop")
