Lyrics
Ain't it a glorious day?
Ripe as a morning in May, I feel like I could fly
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
When the day is gray and ordinary
Mary makes the sun shine bright
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
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 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
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
Though you're just a diamond in the rough, Bert
Underneath your blood is blue
You'd never think of pressing your advantage
Forbearance is the hallmark of your creed
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
