5. I saw a jolly hunter

Top  Previous  Next

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

At 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.
