Lyrics
Seven is a Jolly Good Time
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I used to play in four time when I was very small
But recently I've realised the folly of it all
Supreme thoughts disturbed me, upset my decent mind
I started writing songs in all the rhythms I could
find
Like five...
Seven is a jolly good time, seven is a jolly good time
It's just a very good sign to play in seven time
I found it hard to follow, my foot became confused
My facial muscles echoed the rhythms that I used
And now I found my mental gate playing in a brew
I gathered all the notes up and jumped 'em through a
hoop
As in eleven...
Seven is a jolly good time, seven is a jolly good time
It's just a very good sign to play in seven time
