Lyrics

I used to play in four time when I was very small Recently I've realised the folly of it all So grim a thought disturbed me, upset my decent mind I started writing songs in all the rhythms I could find Like five... Seven is a jolly good time, seven is a jolly good time It's such a very good sign to play in seven time Seven is a jolly good time, seven is a jolly good time It's such a very good sign to play in seven time I found it hard to follow, my foot became confused My facial muscles echoed the rhythms that I used And now I found my métier playing in a group I gather all the notes up and jump them through a hoop As in eleven... Seven is a jolly good time, seven is a jolly good time It's such a very good sign to play in seven time Seven is a jolly good time, seven is a jolly good time It's such a very good sign to play in seven time It really doesn't matter It really doesn't matter It really doesn't matter It really doesn't matter (repeat) Seven is a jolly good time, seven is a jolly good time It's such a very good sign to play in seven time Seven is a jolly good time, seven is a jolly good time It's such a very good sign to play in jolly old seven time
