THE JOLLY GOOD FELLOW.
SONG AND CHORUS.
SOLO.
Here's a health to the friend at our side—
A health to the lov'd and the true—
Our playmate in boyhood, in manhood our pride,
The health that is justly his due.
He is good, he is merry and wise—
He is brave, he is honest and true—
He is honour'd for Honour, in every one's eyes—
Here's his health—it is justly his due.
A health to the lov'd and the true—
Our playmate in boyhood, in manhood our pride,
The health that is justly his due.
He is good, he is merry and wise—
He is brave, he is honest and true—
He is honour'd for Honour, in every one's eyes—
Here's his health—it is justly his due.
CHORUS.
For he's a jolly good fellow—
For he's a hearty good fellow—
For he's a thorough good fellow—
Hurrah! hurrah! hurrah
And so say all of us—
And so say all of us!
For he's a jolly good fellow—
For he's a hearty good fellow—
For he's a thorough good fellow—
Hurrah! hurrah! hurrah!
For he's a hearty good fellow—
For he's a thorough good fellow—
Hurrah! hurrah! hurrah
And so say all of us—
And so say all of us!
For he's a jolly good fellow—
For he's a hearty good fellow—
For he's a thorough good fellow—
Hurrah! hurrah! hurrah!
May health and prosperity long be his lot,
All his heart's fondest hopes realiz'd—
May each blessing of life, kindred, children, and wife,
Circle round one so lov'd, and so priz'd.
He is good, he is merry and wise,
He is brave, he is honest, and true,
He is honour'd for Honour, in every one's eyes.
Then his health, boys, 'tis justly his due!
For he's a jolly, &c.
All his heart's fondest hopes realiz'd—

Circle round one so lov'd, and so priz'd.
He is good, he is merry and wise,
He is brave, he is honest, and true,
He is honour'd for Honour, in every one's eyes.
Then his health, boys, 'tis justly his due!
For he's a jolly, &c.
Upstanding, uncover'd, we'll drink it with three!
No heeltaps, but bumpers—drink high!
Now, boys, are all charg'd? You will take it from me—
With full honours this toast we'll drain dry.
Here's a health to the merry and wise—
Here's a health to the honest and true—
Here's a health to the friend that we've tried, that we've priz'd—
The health that is justly his due.
No heeltaps, but bumpers—drink high!
Now, boys, are all charg'd? You will take it from me—
With full honours this toast we'll drain dry.
Here's a health to the merry and wise—
Here's a health to the honest and true—
Here's a health to the friend that we've tried, that we've priz'd—
The health that is justly his due.
CHORUS.
For he's a jolly good fellow—
For he's a hearty good fellow—
For he's a thorough good fellow!
Hip hip hip hurrah!
Hip hip hip hurrah!
Hip hip hip hurrah!
For he's a jolly good fellow—
For he's a hearty good fellow—
For he's a thorough good fellow?
Hurrah! hurrah! hurrah!
For he's a hearty good fellow—
For he's a thorough good fellow!
Hip hip hip hurrah!
Hip hip hip hurrah!
Hip hip hip hurrah!
For he's a jolly good fellow—
For he's a hearty good fellow—
For he's a thorough good fellow?
Hurrah! hurrah! hurrah!
