Merrily We Roll Along (song)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Merrily We Roll Along" is a song loosely based on the 1847 song "Good Night Ladies" by E. P. Christy. Written by Charlie Tobias, Murray Mencher, and Eddie Cantor circa 1937[1], it is best known as the theme of Warner Bros.' Merrie Melodies cartoon series. In 1995 it was used as the ending theme of Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries.
The song shares a title with the 1934 play Merrily We Roll Along by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart, but is unrelated to it.
[edit] Lyrics
- Merrily we roll along
- Roll along, roll along
- Merrily we roll along
- O’er the deep blue sea
The related verse portion of "Good Night, Ladies":
- Hope you had a happy time
- Happy time, happy time
- Hope you had a happy time
- We had a good time, too
The tune is also used to make a song from the poem "Mary Had a Little Lamb":
- Mary had a little lamb
- Little lamb, little lamb
- Mary had a little lamb
- Its fleece was white as snow
