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

And a straight-shooting son of a gun.

Doin' what I think I should.

Could have loved a whole lot more, been a little more true.

Travel where you will and grow to be a man
And sing what must be sung, poor boy
Sing what must be sung."
