(Hoyt Axton)

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.

Everybody now joy to the world
All the boys and girls
Joy to the fishes in the big blue sea
I said joy to you and me.

If I was a king of the world
I tell you what I'd do
I'd throw away the cars and the bars
And the wars and make sweet love to you.

Let me hear now joy to the world
All the boys and girls
Joy to the fishes in the big blue sea
I said joy to you and me.

You know I loved a lady
I loved to have my fun
I'm a high night flyer and a rainbow rider
And a straight shootin' son of a gun.

Everybody now joy to the world
All the boys and girls
Joy to the fishes in the big blue sea
I said joy to you and me.

And we go now joy to the world.
All the boys and girls
Joy to the fishes in the big blue sea
I said joy to you and me.

A little higher joy to the world
All the boys and girls
Joy to the fishes in the big blue sea
I said joy to you and me.

One more time now joy to the world
All the boys and girls
Joy to the fishes in the big blue sea
I said joy to you and me.

People's goin' now joy to the world
All the boys and girls
Joy to the fishes in the big blue sea
I said joy to you and me...
