Kevin Gilbert Lyrics

"Joy Town (Acoustic Version)" lyrics


Fathers they have big hands and they pat gently on your head
Mothers always make sure everyone is happy and well fed
And everything is instant, no one has to wait too long
And Lennon never has to sing a Paul McCartney song

We're living here in Joytown, the City of the Sun
And everyone loves everyone, loves every single one

No one sells his roommate's stuff so he can get a fix
And no one fears the darkness, no one fears the number six
And everyone talks openly of great things they have read
And no one ever says the things that are better left unsaid
And everyone has someone they can share their sadness with
No one leaves the slightest doubt, no one takes the fifth

We're living here in Joytown, the City of the Sun
And everyone loves everyone, loves every single one

Jesus and Muhammed and Buddha live in town
Zoraster and Ba'h'aula and Moses hangs around
And when they get together they are quite a noisy crew
They laugh about their legacies over cigarettes and brew

Hey, we're living here in Joytown, the City of the Sun
And everyone loves everyone, loves every single one

Senator McCarthy enjoys a book by Marx
People tear down parking lots
So they can build more parks
And Jimi plays the perfect note that never seems to end
and Martin Luther King has got a blond white girlfriend

We're singing here in Joytown
Won't you come and sing along?
We'll never tell you that you ain't singing the right notes,
Never criticize your song.

Joy to the world
All the boys and girls
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy...Joy Town
