Jolly But Dead

The Jolly Green Giant is dead.
Elmer Dresslar, the voice of the Jolly Green Giant, died at 80.
Long before there were any rappers, Elmer was singing of Ho, Ho, Ho.
One daughter said: "He never got tired of it. If nothing else, it put my sister and I through college."
Remember the song?

"Good things from the garden.
"Garden in the valley.
"Valley of the Jolly -- Ho, Ho, Ho -- Green Giant."
