[Verse 1] I woke up grinning, no reason My slipper almost ran away I found my shirt on the ceiling Still I said, “Today’s my day” Mama asked, “Why you dey laugh so?” I said, “My heart just won the race” Even my worries start to dance small When I put joy on my face [Pre-Chorus] Ah-ah, look at me now I no fit calm down Ah-ah, trouble come near I just wave it off now [Chorus] Joy dey my pocket (joy dey my pocket) I carry am go I carry am go Joy dey my pocket (joy dey my pocket) If you want some, come close If you want some, come close [Verse 2] My neighbor dropped a plant pot I said, “That one still can grow” The goat cross road like it own me I just shout, “Respect the flow” My friend said, “Life be hard too much” I said, “True, but hear me sing” I trip, I laugh, I stand up fresh That’s my daily little win [Pre-Chorus] Ah-ah, look at me now I no fit calm down Ah-ah, even my shoes They dey follow my sound [Chorus] Joy dey my pocket (joy dey my pocket) I carry am go I carry am go Joy dey my pocket (joy dey my pocket) If you want some, come close If you want some, come close [Bridge] No be magic, no be money Na the way I choose to shine If your face has gone too serious Take my hand, you go fine [Final Chorus] Joy dey my pocket (joy dey my pocket) I carry am go I carry am go Joy dey my pocket (joy dey my pocket) Whole town feel am too Whole town feel am too
