1 We are jolly children, happy as can be,
We are marching on in life's progressive way;
And we're glad and merry as you e'er did see,
And we'll strive to do our duty day by day.

Chorus:
We are jolly, jolly, jolly glad and free,
We are merry, merry, merry as can be;
WE will let our music, sweetest music ring,
And we'll do our very best in ev'rything.

2 We will let our voices ring in melody,
Ever learning music for a purpose true;
We will help to banish foes to liberty,
Always striving with our might the right to do. [Chorus]

3 We'll oppose and work against the deeds of wrong,
And for ev'rything that's right we'll take our stand;
We will fill the air with sweetest, cheerful song,
Don't you want to join our merry, singing band? [Chorus]
