| When I was a little kid |
| And all the people, they looked big |
| I never exactly understood |
| How to tell the tree from the wood |
| Joy without pleasure |
| Ain’t no fun, ain’t no fun at all |
| Joy without pleasure |
| Ain’t no fun, ain’t no fun at all |
| My Mama, she took me aside one day |
| She said «you better have fun while you play» |
| Cause someday you’ll wake up and you’ll be old |
| And all of your youth will be gone away |
| And you’ll work in a factory and earn your pay |
| And your fingers will rot and your mind will decay |
| You’ll be happy, so happy, with your family and house |
| But you’ll never, you’ll never enjoy yourself |
| Joy without pleasure |
| Ain’t no fun, ain’t no fun at all |
| Joy without pleasure |
| Ain’t no fun, ain’t no fun at all |
| The son of Charles Dickens and a little red hen |
| Dance the Watusi like it was a sin |
| They try to enjoy it, but they feel so guilty |
| Guilt won’t allow you to enjoy stolen apples |
| Joy without pleasure |
| Ain’t no fun, ain’t no fun at all |
| Joy without pleasure |
| Ain’t no fun, ain’t no fun at all |
