Jeremiah was a bull frog

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

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 wars

Make sweet love to you

Singin’ 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 night flier 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

All the boys and girls, now

Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea

Joy to you and me
