"Life Just Ain't No Fun Any More"


Life just ain't no fun any more!
I mustn't eat butter, I mustn't eat meat,
Even cream cakes are a frowned-upon treat.
What is there left that I'd still want to eat?
I tell you, life ain't no fun any more


No, life just ain't no fun any more
I mustn't waste energy, I gotta stay froze
Till the icicles form at the end of my nose.
But how much do they waste when a nukey bomb blows?
I tell you, life ain't no fun any more


Cor, life just ain't no fun any more
Gotta give up these fags 'cos they're filthin' the air.
They won't let me play games, I "have to take care".
What do they know, I'm as strong as a bear!
I tell you, life ain't no fun any more


Really, life just ain't no fun any more
Now I have to keep my papers for recyclin'
I had more room here when they went in the bin!
If I chuck 'em away, is it such a great sin?
I tell you, life ain't no fun any more


No, life just ain't no fun any more
Though I must admit I do feel much better;
And this dear ole world, wouldn't want to upset her;
So I do all "the right things", down to the letter.
I wonder, is life no fun after all?


Life's gettin' to be fun once more
I'm learnin' about all the good I've now done —
Not just for me, but for everyone;
And strangely, I'm starting again to have fun.
I reckon life's wonderful, don't you?
