Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Jeremiah was a bullfrog
Was a good friend of mine
I never understood a single word he said
But I helped him drink his wine
And he always had some mighty fine wine
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
You know I love the ladies
Love to have my fun
I'm a high night flier and a rainbow rider
A straight-shootin' son of a gun
I said a straight-shootin' son of a gun
[Chorus]
Joy to the world
All the boys and girls
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me
[Chorus]
Joy to the world
All the boys and girls
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me
[Chorus]
Joy to the world
All the boys and girls
Joy to the world
Joy to you and me
[Chorus]
Joy to the world
All the boys and girls now
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me
[Chorus]
Joy to the world
All the boys and girls
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me
[Chorus]
Joy to the world
All the boys and girls
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me
[Chorus]
Joy to the world
All the boys and girls
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me...
