My baby nothing but a ton of joy
Children, yes she is one ton of joy
My baby nothing but a ton of joy
Love, love, love, love, love, lovely
Lovely ton of joy

The way she love me
Makes me know I'm a man
What she do for me
You don't understand, children
Baby, you're a ton of joy
Lovely, lovely, lovely ton of joy

She's got what all men
Are trying to find
Drives a strong man
Practically out of his mind, children
She gives a blind man eyes to see, y'all
She knocks a preacher man
Straight on his knees, y'all

Baby, baby, you're a ton of joy
Girl, I love, I love your ton of joy
Children, the way she loves me
Makes me want to learn
You sets me on fire
But I'm willing to burn, children, you
Baby, you're a ton of joy
A lovely, lovely, lovely ton of joy

You love girl, I love you, baby
No matter what you do, girl
I'm gonna keep loving you
No matter what you say
You got one hundred tons of 
One hundred ton of joy, baby
You don't weigh but a hundred
But I just love you
