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
