06 ME Quintet 1902 'Merrie England'

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 31 Mar 2003

[All:] Love is meant
to make us glad
Hey, jolly, jolly,
Hey jolly little Cupid!
Fools do let him
make them sad!
Hey folly, folly,
Hey folly, they are stupid!
Let's be wise
if we do meet him!
Ah! Let's be wise,
let's be wise,
Oh Love is meant
to make us glad,
is meant to make us glad!

And say to him
"Good day" to him;
he'll treat us as we treat him!
He'll treat us as we treat him!
With a hey, jolly, jolly,
hey, jolly, little love!
Hey, little love!
With a hey, jolly jolly, hey,
jolly little love!
Sorrow follows folly,
as the berries grow on holly,
and Oh! 'tis folly
Oh! 'tis folly
And Oh! 'tis folly
to be afraid of Love!

With a hey, jolly, jolly,
hey jolly little love!
Sorrow follows folly,
as the berries grow on holly,
and Oh 'tis folly!
Oh! 'tis folly!
And Oh! 'tis folly,
To be afraid of Love!

Love is but a butterfly.
Hey, jolly, jolly! Hey,
what is there to match it?
Will you watch it flutter by?
Oh, folly, folly, oh,
folly not to catch it!
Try to keep it when you've caught it!
Ah! Wherefore weep:
Wherefore weep:
Oh Love is meant to make us glad,
is meant to make us glad!
To sigh for it,
and die for it
Oh, wisdom never taught it!
Oh, wisdom never taught it!
With a hey, jolly, jolly, hey,
jolly little Love!
Hey! little love,
with a hey! jolly, jolly, hey,
jolly little love!
Sorrow follows folly,
as the berries grow on holly,
and Oh 'tis folly!
Oh! 'tis folly!
And Oh! 'tis folly,
To be afraid of Love!

With a hey, jolly, jolly,
hey jolly little love!
Sorrow follows folly,
as the berries grow on holly,
and Oh 'tis folly!
Oh! 'tis folly!
And Oh! 'tis folly,
To be afraid of Love!

'Tis folly to run away from Love!
