Joy, joy, joy - in my heart - I see light...

D G A

[Verse 1]

I spoke to someone yesterday

He didn't want politics in any way

They were young and can do as they pleased

When they were older they're on their hands and knees

[Chorus]

I say drop down baby

Drop down dead tonight

I say drop down baby

G A

Drop down dead tonight

[Verse 2]

D G A

There is rich and there is poor

D G A

But I know who I'm fighting for

D G A

And when the bell strikes twelve tonight

D G A

I'll pack my bags and turn the light

[Chorus]

I say drop down baby

G A

Drop down dead tonight

I say drop down baby

G A

Drop down dead tonight

[Verse 2]

D G A

By the candle light there'll be songs

D G A

Singing, singing, singing all night long

D G A

And the trees that hid away by day

D G A

They'll be strong and here to stay

[Chorus]

N.C

I say drop down baby

Drop down dead tonight

I say drop down baby

N.C.

Drop down dead tonight

I say drop down baby
