HOUSE OF FUN
(Mike Barson / Lee Thompson)
Madness - 1982


Good morning Miss, can I help you son 
Sixteen today and up for fun 
I'm a big boy now or so they say 
So if you'll serve I'll be on my way 

Box of balloons with the feather-light touch 
Pack of party-poppers that pop in the night 
A toothbrush and hairspray, plastic grin 
Miss Clay on all corners has just walked in 

Welcome to the House of Fun 
Now I've come of age 
Welcome to the House of Fun 
Welcome to the lion's den 
Temptation's on his way 
Welcome to the House of 

N-n-n-n-n-n-no no miss, you misunderstood 
Sixteen big boy, full pint in my manhood 
I'm up to date and the date's today 
So if you'll serve I'll be on my way 

Welcome to the House of Fun 
Now I've come of age 
Welcome to the lion's den 
Temptation's on his way 
Welcome to the House of (Fun) 

I'm sorry son but we don't stock 
Party gimmicks in this shop 
Try the House of Fun 
It's quicker if you run 
This is a chemist's, not a joke shop! 

Party hats, simple enough clear 
Comprehend savvy understand 
Do you hear? 
A pack of party hats 
With the coloured tips 
Too late! 
Gordon heard gossip 
Well hello Joe, hello Miss Clay 
Many happy returns from the day 

Welcome to the House of Fun 
Now I've come of age 
Welcome to the House of Fun 
Welcome to the lion's den 
Temptation's on his way 
Welcome to the House of Fun 

Welcome to the House of Fun 
Now I've come of age 
Welcome to the lion's den 
Temptation's on his way 
Welcome to the House of (Fun)
