day I met a girl named JoyShe said come here,

I'm gonna make you my joy boyWell,

things went good and things went badNow everytime I

think of JoyIt makes me sadIt makes me.

.. sadThe other day I met a girl named JoyShe said

Roy!I'm gonna make you my joy boyWell,

she took me for a rideSort of a joy rideNow everytime

I thik of JoyI get all weird insideOh,

Joy to the worldWas a beautiful girlBut to me Joy meant

only sorrowNow--if you haven't got an answerThen you

haven't got a questionAnd if you never had a questionThen

you'd never have a problemBut if you never had a problemWell,

everyone would be happyBut if everyone was happyThere'd

never be a love songJoy was a beautiful girlBut to

me Joy meant only sorrowThe other day I met a girl

named JoyShe said, Come here,

I wanna make you feel all clammy insideThings went

good good and things went badThings went good.

.. things went badGood, bad,

good, bad, good, badJoy to the worldWas a beautiful

girlBut to me Joy meant only sorrowOh,

Joy to the worldWas a beautiful girlBut to me Joy meant

only sorrowJoy, I know you're out thereI want you to

turn on your radio and listen to my song
