Seven Is a Jolly Good Time

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
