Just like it's spelled. :)
I pronounce it /joG/, but I don't know if that's justified
historically or not. In any case, most Anglophones don't pronounce it
that way, since [G] doesn't exist in native English phonology. I've
heard all three of /jog/, /jox/, and /jok/; I'm assuming the last is
the one intended for the song, since it rhymes with "oak".
