#1 Joy To The World (Three Dog Night) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Jeremiah was a bullfrog
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🪄
Singin’ 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 if I were the king of the world
Tell you what I’d do
I’d throw away the cars and the bars and the war
Make sweet love to you🪄
Sing it now, joy to the world
All the boys and girls
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me🪄
You know I love the ladies
Love to have my fun
I’m a high life flyer and a rainbow rider
A straight shootin’ son-of-a-gun
I said a straight shootin’ son-of-a-gun🪄
Joy to the world
All the boys and girls
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me🪄
Joy to the world
All the boys and girls
Joy to the world
Joy to you and me🪄
Joy to the world
All the boys and girls
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me🪄
Joy to the world
Joy to you and me
Joy to the world
All the boys and girls now
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me🪄
Joy to the world
All the boys and girls
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me🪄
Joy to the world
All the boys and girls

#11 Mama Told Me (Not To Come) (Three Dog Night) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Want some whiskey in your water?
Sugar in your tea?
What’s all these crazy questions they’re askin’ me?
This is the craziest party that could ever be
Don’t turn on the lights ’cause I don’t wanna see🪄
Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
That ain’t the way to have fun, no (uh-uh)🪄
Open up the window, let some air into this room
I think I’m almost chokin’ from the smell of stale perfume
And that cigarette you’re smokin’ ’bout scare me half to death
Open up the window, sucker, let me catch my breath🪄
Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
That ain’t the way to have fun, son
That ain’t the way to have fun, son (oh, yeah!)🪄
The radio is blastin’, someone’s knockin’ at the door
I’m lookin’ at my girlfriend, she’s passed out on the floor
I seen so many things I ain’t never seen before
Don’t know what it is, I don’t wanna see no more🪄
Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
She said, (“That ain’t the way to have fun, son”)
(“That ain’t the way to have fun, no”)🪄
Mama told me, mama told me
Mama told me, told me, told me
Mama told me
Oh, yeah
Mama told me, not to go…🪄
That ain’t the way to have fun, no
That ain’t the way to have fun, son
That ain’t the way to have fun, no (look at you)
That ain’t the way to have fun, son🪄
Listen to mama, listen to me baby
Mama told me, not to go…🪄
That ain’t the way to have fun, no (yeah!)
That ain’t the way to have fun, son (somebody tell ’em)
That ain’t the way to have fun, no (mama)
That ain’t the way to have fun, son

#33 Easy To Be Hard (Three Dog Night) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
How can people be so heartless?
How can people be so cruel?
Easy to be hard
Easy to be cold🪄
How can people have no feelings
How can they ignore their friends
Easy to be proud
Easy to say no🪄
Especially people who care about strangers
Who say care about evil and social injustice
Do you only care about the bleeding crowd
How about a needy friend
I need a friend🪄
How can people be so heartless?
You know I’m hung up on you
Easy to give in
Easy to held back🪄
Especially people who care about strangers
Who care about evil and social injustice
Do you only care about the bleeding crowd
How about a needy friend?
We all need a friend🪄
How can people be so heartless?
How can people be so cruel?
Easy to be proud
Easy to say no
You know it’s e-
Easy to say no
Easy to say no
Easy to be proud
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I know it is🪄
Easy to say no
Easy to say no
It’s easy
It’s easy
Easy to say no, no, no
It’s easy, it’s easy, it’s easy, it’s easy

#11 One (Three Dog Night) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
One is the loneliest number that you’ll ever do
Two can be as bad as one
It’s the loneliest number since the number one🪄
No is the saddest experience you’ll ever know
Yes, it’s the saddest experience you’ll ever know🪄
‘Cause one is the loneliest number that you’ll ever do
One is the loneliest number, whoa-oh, worse than two🪄
It’s just no good anymore since you went away
Now I spend my time just making rhymes of yesterday🪄
One is the loneliest number
One is the loneliest number
One is the loneliest number that you’ll ever do
One is the loneliest
One is the loneliest
One is the loneliest number that you’ll ever do🪄
It’s just no good anymore since you went away (number)
One is the loneliest (number)
One is the loneliest (number)
One is the loneliest number that you’ll ever do (number)
One is the loneliest (number)
One is the loneliest (number)
One is the loneliest number that you’ll ever do (number)
One (one is the loneliest number that you’ll ever do)(number)
One is the loneliest number that you’ll ever do (number)
One is the loneliest number that you’ll ever do
