| Some folks like to sigh
|
| Some folks do, some folks do
|
| Some folks long to die
|
| But that’s not me nor you
|
| Long live the merry, merry heart
|
| That laughs by night and day
|
| Like the Queen of Mirth
|
| No matter what some folks say
|
| Some folks fear to smile
|
| Some folks do, some folks do
|
| Others laugh through guile
|
| But that’s not me nor you
|
| Long live the merry, merry heart
|
| That laughs by night and day
|
| Like the Queen of Mirth
|
| No matter what some folks say
|
| Some folks fret and scold
|
| Some folks do, some folks do
|
| They’ll soon be dead and cold
|
| But that’s not me nor you
|
| Long live the merry, merry heart
|
| That laughs by night and day
|
| Like the Queen of Mirth
|
| No matter what some folks say
|
| Some folks get grey hairs
|
| Some folks do, some folks do
|
| Brooding o’er their cares
|
| But that’s not me nor you
|
| Long live the merry, merry heart
|
| That laughs by night and day
|
| Like the Queen of Mirth
|
| No matter what some folks say
|
| Some folks toil and save
|
| Some folks do, some folks do
|
| To buy themselves a grave
|
| But that’s not me nor you
|
| Long live the merry, merry heart
|
| That laughs by night and day
|
| Like the Queen of Mirth
|
| No matter what some folks say |
