(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
An wish them all the happiness
Through the coming 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)
