[00:01.06] When I was a little kid
[00:04.53] And all the people they looked big
[00:08.10] I never exactly understood
[00:11.76] How to tell the trees from the wood
[00:14.80]
[00:16.16] Joy without pleasure
[00:18.33] Ain't no fun, ain't no fun at all
[00:21.93] Joy without pleasure
[00:24.90] Ain't no fun, ain't no fun at all
[00:28.63]
[00:28.73] My mama she took me aside one day
[00:32.30] She said you better have fun while you play
[00:35.30] 'Cause someday you'll wake up and you'll be old
[00:39.06] And all of your youth will be gone away
[00:42.00]
[00:42.16] And you work in a factory and you earn your pay
[00:45.60] And your fingers will rot and your mind will decay
[00:48.96] You'll be happy, so happy with your family and house
[00:52.53] But you'll never, you'll never enjoy yourself
[00:55.83]
[00:57.30] Joy without pleasure
[00:59.33] Ain't no fun, ain't no fun at all
[01:02.93] Joy without pleasure
[01:05.90] Ain't no fun, ain't no fun at all
[01:09.10]
[01:09.50] The Son of Charles Dickens had a little red hen
[01:12.50] Danced the watusi like it was a sin
[01:15.86] They tried to enjoy it but they feel so guilty
[01:19.73] Guilt won't allow you to enjoy a stolen apple
[01:22.53]
[01:23.93] Joy without pleasure
[01:26.16] Ain't no fun, ain't no fun at all
[01:29.60] Joy without pleasure
[01:32.86] Ain't no fun
[01:36.40] Joy without pleasure
[01:39.70] Ain't no fun
[01:43.90]
