Lyrics

I went to look for Joy
Slim, dancing Joy
Gay, laughing Joy
Bright-eyed Joy–
And I found her
Driving the butcher’s cart
In the arms of the butcher boy!
Such company, such company
As keeps this young nymph, Joy!
Such company, such company
As keeps this young nymph, Joy!
I went to look for Joy
Slim, dancing Joy
Gay, laughing Joy
Bright-eyed Joy–
And I found her
Driving the butcher’s cart
In the arms of the butcher boy!
Such company, such company
As keeps this young nymph, Joy!
Such company, such company
As keeps this young nymph, Joy!
