Classic Country Lyrics: "Joy To The World" von Hoyt Axton

Hoyt Axton schrieb und sang diesen Song,

der mit dem gleichnamigen Weihnachts-

lied ausser der selben Melodie aber nichts

zu tun hat.

Jeremiah was a bullfrog 
He 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, now 
All the boys and girls, now 
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea 
Joy to you and me. 

Everybody sing it: Joy to the world, now 
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 
Just make sweet love to you. 

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. 

--- Instrumental --- 

You know I love the ladies 
Love to have their fun 
I'm a high night flier and a rainbow 

rider 
A straight-shootin' son of a gun. 
Yeah, I'm a straight shootin' son of a 

gun. 

Singin' joy to the world, now 
All the boys and girls, now 
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea 
Joy to you and me. 

Everybody sing it: Joy to the world, now 
All the boys and girls, now 
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea 
Joy to you and me. 

Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea 
Joy to you and me. 

Ah, yeah. It'll be all right...
