Jolly Holiday

Lyrics

[BERT, spoken] All that it takes is a spark And something as plain as a park becomes - A wonderland! (sung) All you 'ave to do is look anew Then you'll understand Why it's a jolly holiday with Mary Mary makes your 'eart so light [MARY POPPINS, spoken] Oh, really [BERT, sung] When the day is grey and ordinary Mary makes the sun shine bright! [MARY POPPINS, spoken] You do talk nonsense Bert! [BERT, sung] Oh happiness is bloomin' all around 'er Daffodils are smilin' at the dove [MARY POPPINS, spoken] I haven't the faintest idea what you're talking about [BERT, sung] When Mary holds your hand - [MARY POPPINS, spoken] Bert - [BERT, sung] You feel so grand Your 'eart starts beating like a big brass band [MARY POPPINS, spoken] You've got enough brass for all of us [BERT, sung] Oh it's a jolly holiday with Mary No wonder that it's Mary that we love! (spoken) Come along you two [JANE AND MICHAEL, sung] Boring! Just like other nannies Thinking parks are good for us It's just statues, ducks, and grannies I don't understand all the fuss! [JANE] Is she doing it to spite us? [MICHAEL] We could lose her for a lark! [JANE] Perhaps its all a plot I'll tell you what [MICHAEL] She seemed so different [JANE AND MICHAEL] But I bet she's not There is nothing to excite us In...the...park... [MICHAEL, spoken] Who are you? [Neleus, spoken] I'm Neleus - and I thought Mary Poppins would never let me get down from this plinth! [BERT, sung] Ain't it a glorious day Right as a mornin' in May? [NELEUS] I feel like I could fly Have you ever seen the grass so green? [MARY POPPINS, spoken] Oh Bert! (sung) Or a bluer sky? [BERT & NELEUS] Oh it's a jolly holiday with Mary [BERT] Better days I've never known You can ask the passing statuary [STATUES] Nothing's ever set in stone [BERT, spoken] You're looking tip-top from top to toe, if I may say so! [MARY POPPINS] Thank you Bert, and you may [STATUES, sung] Oh it's a jolly holiday with Mary No wonder that it's Mary that we love! [BERT, spoken] Oi! Do you think Neleus is looking a bit timid today? [MICHAEL] No, why? [BERT] I knew him when he was a little boulder - A little boulder - aha! (sung) To see a statue dance like that, you can't believe your eyes You fear you've lost your marbles, but a thinker thinks you're wise So you should hasten, call a mason, tell him what you've seen If he knows his craft, he'll think you daft but we'll know what you mean! [STATUES] Oh its a jolly holiday with Mary No wonder that it's Mary that we love! [BERT] Now Notre Dame can cause alarm and I've me own hunch why The gargoyles need to gargle, 'cause their throats get rather dry! And just between us - I know Venus has a vice that shocks! She often drinks with a Sphinx who winks, is neat and on the rocks [STATUES] Oh its a jolly holiday with Mary No wonder that it's Mary that we love! [BERT] Let's go, for a jaunty saunter You are bound to make your mark Looks like all of you were born to take a promenade in the park With those finely chiseled features You can look down from above! Each man out with his dog Will stand agog To see a statue take a gentle jog! It's no wonder that it's Mary That we love! [STATUES] Love! Love! [BERT] No wonder that it's Mary that we love [MARY POPPINS] 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 [STATUES] Your blood is blue! [MARY POPPINS] 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 [STATUES] Is crystal clear! [MARY POPPINS + STATUES] Oh it's a jolly holiday with you, Bert A jolly, jolly holiday with you! [STATUES] With you! (Together) [FEMALE STATUES, JANE, MICHAEL] Oh, it's a jolly holiday with Mary Mary makes your heart so light When the day is grey and ordinary Mary makes the sun shine bright Oh, happiness is blooming all around her The daffodils are smiling at the dove [MALE STATUES, BERT] Let's go for jaunty saunter We are bound to make our mark Looks like all of us were all born to Take a promenade in the park With our finely-chiseled features We can look down from above [ALL] When Mary holds your hand You feel so grand! Your heart starts beating like a big brass band! Oh, 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!
