Jeremiah was a bull frog
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.

And a straight-shooting son of a gun.

Joy To The World (1971)

But I'm just a natural born travelin' man
Doin' what I think I should, oh yeah
Doin' what I think I should.

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

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

God damn, I say The Pusher
I said God damn, God damn The Pusher man.

Friendship is a sheltering tree;
Oh the joys that came down shower-like,
Of friendship, love, and liberty,
Ere I was old!
