¶Lyrics / Text

Love is meant to make us glad! Hey, jolly, jolly, hey jolly little Cupid! Fools do let him make them sad! Ho! folly, folly, ho! folly, they are stupid. Let's be wise if we do meet him, Heave no sighs, But gladly greet him, Let's be wise, Oh! Love is meant to make us glad, And say to him "Good-day" to him, He'll treat us as we treat him! With a hey, jolly, jolly, hey, jolly little Love! Sorrow follows folly As the be-ries grow on holly, And oh, 'tis folly! oh 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! Wherefore weep If you have sought it, Oh, Love is meant to make us glad! To sigh for it and die for it Oh! wisdom never taught it! With a hey, jolly, jolly, hey, jolly little Love! Sorrow follows folly As the berries grow on holly, And oh, 'tis folly! to run away from Love!
