Jolly Holiday Lyrics
Bert: Ain’t it a glorious day?
Right as a mornin’ in May
I feel like I could fly
Mary: Now Bert, none of your larking about.
Bert: ‘Ave 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
Mary: You haven’t changed a bit, have you?
Bert: When the day is gray and ordinary
Mary makes the sun shine bright!
Mary: Oh, honestly.
Bert: Oh ‘appiness is bloomin’ all around ‘er
The daffodils are smilin’ at the dove
When Mary holds your ‘and, you feel so grand
Your heart starts beatin’ like a big brass band
Mary: You are lightheaded.
Bert: It’s a jolly holiday with Mary
No wonder that it’s Mary that we love!
(Instrumental bridge)
Ram: Oh, it’s a jolly holiday with Mary
Lambs: Mary makes your ‘art so light
Barnyard Horse: When the day is gray and ordinary
Cow: Mary makes the sun shine bright
Ducks: Oh ‘appiness is bloomin’ all around ‘er
Pig: The daffodils are smilin’ at the dove (Oink! Oink!)
Bert and Farm Animals: When Mary ‘olds your ‘and, you feel so grand
Your ‘eart starts beatin’ like a big brass band
It’s a jolly holiday 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: A vanishing breed, that’s me.
Mary: Though you’re just a diamond in the rough, Bert
Underneath your blood is blue!
Bert: Common knowledge.
Mary: You’d never think of pressing your advantage
Forbearance is the hallmark of your creed
Bert: 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!
Now, then, what would be nice
We’ll start with raspberry ice
And then some cakes and tea
Penguins: Order what you will
There’ll be no bill
It’s complimentary
Mary: Oh, you’re very kind.
Penguins: Anything for you Mary Poppins,
You’re our favorite person.
Bert: Right you are!
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: Janice, Felicia, Lydia –
Bert: Charming
Cynthia’s dashing, Vivian’s sweet
Stephanie’s smashing, Priscilla a treat
Penguins: Veronica, Millicent, Agnes, and Jane
Bert: Convival company, time and again
Doris and Phyllis and Glynis are sorts
I’ll agree are three jolly good sports
But cream of the crop, tip of the top
Bert and Penguins: It’s Mary Poppins, and there we stop!
Bert and Penguins: When Mary ‘olds your ‘and, you feel so grand
Your ‘eart starts beatin’ like a big brass band
It’s a jolly holiday with Mary
No wonder that it’s Mary that we love!
No wonder that it’s Mary that we love!
No wonder that it’s Mary that we love!
