Lyrics

[Intro]
Ain't it a glorious day?
Bright as a morning 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?
[Verse 1]
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)
[Verse 2]
Oh, happiness is blooming all around her
The daffodils are smiling at the dove
When Mary holds your hand, you feel so grand
Your heart starts beating like a big brass band (You are light headed)
[Chorus]
It's a jolly holiday with Mary
No wonder that it's Mary that we love
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
Oh, happiness is blooming all around her
The daffodils are smiling at the dove
When Mary holds your hand, you feel so grand
Your heart starts beating like a big brass band
[Chorus]
It's a jolly holiday with Mary
No wonder that it's Mary that we love
[Verse 5]
Oh, it's a jolly holiday with you, Bert
Gentlemen like you are few (A vanishing breed, that's me)
Though you're 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
[Chorus]
Oh, it's a jolly holiday with you, Bert
A jolly, jolly holiday with you
[Bridge]
It's true that Mavis and Sybil have ways that are winning
And Prudence and Gwendolyn set your heart spinning
Phoebe, delightful, Maude is disarming
Janice, Felicia, Lydia? Charming
Cindy is dashing, Vivienne's sweet
Stephanie, smashing, Priscilla, a treat
Veronica, Millicent, Agnes, and Jane
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, give her the top
Is Mary Poppins and there we stop
