[Intro]
Hey, y'all, Little Richard's in town
I got the rock 'n' roll, and I'm gonna put it down

We got sister Bessy here tonight, from down there in Griffin, Georgia
She rode the bus all the way up here, just to see the beauty
We got brother George here tonight from down in Mexico
He skated all the way up here just to see the beauty

We got everybody here tonight
We got black folk, we got white folk
We got red folk, we got brown folk
We got yellow folk, we got real folk
We got love folk

I want y'all to know that I'm here tonight
And I've been talkin' about love for a long time
Because, honey, I'm the man that started it all
The emancipator of soul and the king of rock and roll
From Macon, Georgia

I want you to know that I'm here to be offered tonight in the fullness
That the beauty is still on duty
Let it all hang out
With the beautiful Little Richard from down in Macon, Georgia
I want you all to know that I am the Georgia peach
Let all the women folk say wooh (wooh)
Let all the men say ugh (ugh)
Ooh, my soul
A man walked up to me yesterday and say
"Little Richard, don't you know that James Brown can beat you at dancin'?"
I said "Beat me dancin'? I suppose you ever thought about that he don't look like me?"
Shut up, I'm the star, and don't you ever forget it
But I'm here tonight to let you know
That it's time for everybody to have a good time
Shut up

[Verse 1]
(Joy joy joy)
(Joy joy joy)
(Joy joy joy)

Jeremiah was a bullfrog
Was a good friend of mine
I never understood a single word he said
But I helped him drink his wine
He always had some mighty fine wine

[Chorus]
Joy to the world (Sing the song now)
All the boys and girls (Sing it, children)
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me

[Verse 2]
You know I love the ladies (Yeah, you love the ladies)
Love to have my fun (Love to have your fun)
I'm a high night flier and a rainbow rider
A straight-shooting son of a gun
(Everybody sing now)
[Chorus]
Joy to the world (Sing it, sing it, children)
All the boys and girls (Oh yeah)
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me

Joy, ow ow ow!

[Saxophone Solo]
(Ah ah ah)
(Ah ah ah)
(Ah ah ah)
(Ah ah ah)

[Verse 3]
Now, If I were the king of the world (You know that you're the king now)
I'd tell you what I'd do (What you gonna do?)
I'd throw away the cars and the bars and the wars
And make sweet love to you
(Everybody sing now)

[Chorus]
Joy to the world (Joy to the world, yeah)
All the boys and girls (Sing it, sing it, children)
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me
[Bridge]
Shut up! I'd rather do it myself
Don't you know I'm the star
The only star, by far
Without a car, but I'm still a star
We're just like the lily, the rose, the sunflower and the medallion
The black, the white, the red, the brown and the yellow
Don't you know we are God's bouquet, the childrens of love?

If we had of made ourselves we woulda been somebody else
We're not here by chance, there is a purpose
And that's what the world needs today, is that purpose
The love purpose
The purpose to help all mankind
Make up their minds
To not believe nobody behind
But take all to everlasting happiness (joy)

Our purpose here tonight is that I got a message for you
A message of love and hope and peace
A message that every man, every woman, every boy, every girl need to hear
If you believe in it, wherever you are, want you to join in and sing this joyous song of love
Joy to the world (joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea)
Come on, let's sing, get it now (joy for you and me, everybody sing now)
