[Verse 1]
Doctors' notes, swingin' votes, but I can't decide
If I stay here much longer, surely will die
Lived a life full of vice, passion and crime
Can't say I'm perfect, but I certainly tried

[Chorus]
To be joyful, joyful
Joyful and happy, sunny and bright
To be joyful, joyful
Joyful and happy, just being alive

[Verse 2]
No one left, no one except my demons and I
No one to forgive me, I'm running out of time
And it's up to me to try and meet my fate with a smile
And it might sound silly, but I still will try

[Chorus]
To be joyful, joyful
Joyful and happy, sunny and bright
To be joyful, joyful
Joyful and happy, just being alive

[Bridge]
Joyful, joyful
Ooooh, ooooh
[Chorus]
To be joyful, joyful, joyful, joyful
Ooooh, ooooh, oh yeah
Joyful, joyful, joyful, joyful, joyful
I have found my joy
Ooooh

[Outro]
Joyful and happy, sunny and bright
