Joy to the World

Posted in Songs | 3 comments

Jeremiah was a bullfrog, was a good friend of mine. Three Dog Night’s classic line to a memorable song, “Joy to the World”. Absolutely nonsense lyrics, though it’s very catchy.

Other hits include “Mama Told Me Not to Come” and “Black and White”. The name, refers to an expression to a night so cold that one has to snuggle up with 3 dogs just to sleep. Go figure. Happy Easter!

Three Dog Night – Joy To The World

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…

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
