JOY TO THE WORLD
Performed by: Three Dog Night
Written by: Hoyt Axton

Jeremiah was a bull frog
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'
{Refrain}
Joy to the world
All the boys and girls, now
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me

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 wars
And make sweet love to you

Sing it now
{Refrain}

You know I love the ladies
Love to have my fun
I'm a high night flier and a rainbow rider
And a straight-shooting son of a gun
I said a staight shootin son of a gun

{Refrain repeatedly}

------

JOY TO THE WORLD
As performed by Three Dog Night [1970]
Words and music by Hoyt Axton
---------------------------------------

Jeremiah was a bullfrog, was a good friend of mine,
I never understood a single word he said,
But I helped him a drinkin' his wine.
Yes, he always had some mighty fine wine.

<Chorus>
Singing joy to the world, all the boys and girls, now
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea, joy to you and me.

If I were the king of the world, tell you what I'd do.
Throw away the cars and the bars and the wars,
And make sweet love to you.
Yes I'd make sweet love to you.

<Chorus>

Know I love the ladies, love to have my fun.
I'm a high night flyer and a rainbow rider,
A straight shootin' son of a gun.

<Chorus> Repeat and fade
