I've been down on my luck, down in a rut
The needle got stuck somewhere under the weather
Feeling mistreated, feeling defeated
All that I needed was to change the record
Oooh
I got joy in a song I started to sing
Joy in the thought of everyday things
I got nothing and nothing I don't need
I got joy in the air, in and out of my lungs
Joy in the day, barely begun
I got nothing, enough for everyone
This is the life I chose, I choose to smell the rose
It's been under my nose all this time
Stars up above me, people that love me
It don't cost money to buy peace of mind
Oooh, yeah
And I got joy in a song I started to sing
Joy in the thought of everyday things
I got nothing and nothing I don't need
I got joy in the air in and out of my lungs
Joy in the day, barely begun
I got nothing, enough for everyone
I got joy
I got joy
I got joy
I got joy
I got joy, joy, joy
Yeah, I got joy in a song I started to sing
Joy in the thought of everyday things
I got nothing and nothing I don't need,
Nothing I don't need
Joy in the air in and out of my lungs,
In the day, barely begun
I got nothing, I got
I got joy, I got joy
I got, I got nothing, nothing
I got joy, joy, joy
Yeah, I got joy. Yeah, I got joy
I got joy, joy
Can't take it away, can't take it away from me
Joy
I got, I got joy
