I saw a jolly hunter
with a jolly gun.
Walking in the country
In the jolly sun.
In the jolly meadow
sat a jolly hare,
saw the jolly hunter
took jolly care.
Hunter jolly eager
sight of jolly prey,
forgot gun pointing
wrong jolly way.
Jolly hunter jolly head
over heels gone
jolly old safety catch
not jolly on!
Bang! went the jolly gun
Hunter jolly dead;
Jolly hare got clean away,
Jolly good, I said,
