JOY TO THE WORLDNote
- written by Hoyt Axton
- lyrics as recorded by Three Dog Night (#1 for 6 weeks in 1971)

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

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

------ electric piano ------

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 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
   All the boys and girls now
   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 fishes in the deep blue sea
   Joy to you and me

   I wanna tell you
   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 fishes in the deep blue sea
   Joy to you and me

(fading)
   Joy to the world
   All the boys and girls
