The jolly postman's jolly cold.
With snowy beard, he's jolly old:
Delivering jolly Christmas post,
While dreaming jolly turkey roast.
A jolly man with ne're a frown
Doing the rounds of Christmas Town.
The jolly farmer's jolly pig
Is jolly muddy, jolly big.
The jolly church has jolly mice.
The jolly vicar's jolly nice.
The jolly organ's jolly sound
Is heard through all of Christmas Town.
The jolly pub has jolly beer:
A jolly cup of Christmas cheer.
The jolly kids with candy canes
Have jolly fun, play jolly games
As jolly snow drifts gently down.
Merry Christmas, Christmas Town.
