It's about ditching life’s heavy baggage (goodbye cars and wars!) and embracing love and fun. The chorus is a call for everyone to find their slice of joy, making it the ultimate feel-good jam that bridges gaps between species and social issues alike. So grab your rainbow rider gear and sing along—joy to you and me!
Joy to the World
Lyrics
Jeremiah was a bullfrog
Was a good friend of mine
I never understood a single word he said
But I helped him a-drink his wine
And he always had some mighty fine wine
Singin' joy to the world
All the boys and girls now
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me
And if I were the king of the world
Tell you what I'd do
I'd throw away the cars and the bars and the war
Make sweet love to you
Sing it now, joy to the world
All the boys and girls
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me
You know I love the ladies
Love to have my fun
I'm a high life flyer and a rainbow rider
A straight shootin' son-of-a-gun
I said a straight shootin' son-of-a-gun
Joy to the world
All the boys and girls
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me
Joy to the world
All the boys and girls
Joy to the world
Joy to you and me
Joy to the world (yeah, yeah)
All the boys and girls
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me (yeah, now sing it baby)
Joy to the world
Joy to you and me
You know I meant, joy to the world
You know I meant joy
All the boys and girls
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me
You know I meant, joy to the world
You know I meant Joy
All the boys and girls (yeah, yeah)
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me (ah yeah you)
Joy to the world (I meant you and me)
All the boys and girls
