G D C G
When I was a little kid
Em Am C D G
And all the people, they looked big
G D C G
I never exactly understood
Em Am C D G
How to tell the tree from the wood
[Chorus]
D C G
Joy without pleasure
Em Am C D G
Ain't no fun, ain't no fun at all
D C G
Joy without pleasure
Em Am C D G
Ain't no fun, ain't no fun at all
[Verse 2]
G D C G
My Mama, she took me aside one day
Em Am C D G
She said "you better have fun while you play"
G D C G
Cause someday you'll wake up and you'll be old
Em Am C D G
And all of your youth will be gone away
[Verse 3]
G D C G
And you'll work in a factory and earn your pay
Em Am C D G
And your fingers will rot and your mind will decay
G D C G
You'll be happy, so happy, with your family and house
Em Am C D G
But you'll never, you'll never enjoy yourself
[Chorus]
D C G
Joy without pleasure
Em Am C D G
Ain't no fun, ain't no fun at all
D C G
Joy without pleasure
Em Am C D G
Ain't no fun, ain't no fun at all
[Verse 4]
G D C G
The son of Charles Dickens and a little red hen
Em Am C D G
Dance the Watusi like it was a sin
G D C G
They try to enjoy it, but they feel so guilty
Em Am C D G
Guilt won't allow you to enjoy stolen apples
[Outro]
D C G
Joy without pleasure
Em Am C D G
Ain't no fun, ain't no fun at all
D C G
Joy without pleasure
Em Am C D G
Ain't no fun, ain't no fun at all
