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 'eart so light
[HORSE]
When the day is gray and ordi-neigh-ry
[COW]
Mary makes the sun shine bright
[GEESE]
Oh, 'appiness is bloomin' all around 'er
[PIG]
The daffodils are smilin' at the doves
*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
[MARY]
Oh, it's a jolly holiday with you, Bert
Gentlemen like you are few
[BERT, spoken]
A vanishing breed, that's me
[MARY]
Although 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!
[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]
Is Mary Poppins, and there we stop
