Play Christmas Version x 2 (not too slow)
Over last note, Leader Yells "1,2!"

(i.e. skip measures of intro but do lead in, Eb E F)
insturmentals play 1 and 2
Singer starts in 1 "Jeremiah was a bull frog"
every one but bass sings 2 ("joy... to the world, all the boys and girls)
then everyone plays 1
then everyone sings 2, slowdown last joyyy to you aaaand meeeeeeeee

VERSE: 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

CHORUS:
(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
