(Ray Stevens)
(For he's a jolly good fellow)
I'm the life of the party
And the drinks are on me
The occasion is to celebrate
A wedding-to-be
The groom is my best friend,
The bride my old flame
And as they raise their glasses to me,
They sing out my name
For he's a jolly good fellow
Which nobody can deny
But it takes a jolly good fellow
To say congratulations to the other guy
When all the time you wanna break down and cry
Well, it's all that I can do
To hold back the tears
And wish them all the happiness
Through the comin' years
But I'll buy another round
And a toast I proclaim
And as they raise their glasses to me,
They sing out my name
For he's a jolly good fellow
Which nobody can deny
But it takes a jolly good fellow
To say congratulations to the other guy
And all the time, you wanna break down and cry
(Break down and cry)
