Still rockin' and having a good time after all these years, with many subtle and not so subtle references to some of our favourite artists and records.
lyrics
Now It's Just Fun Fun Fun
Used to play in a band
Now I just write code
I was a travelling man
Now I’m off the road
Used to dream about touring the States
Becoming a star
My best friend played drums
Now his life’s a wreck
Jim played the bass
Now he’s an ad exec
But once in awhile
We blow the dust off these old guitars
CHORUS
And sing Oh Pretty Woman, Who’ll Stop the Rain
Devil in a Blue Dress, Maybelline
Gloria, One of These Nights, You’re Still the One
Satisfaction, She Loves You, Like a Rolling Stone
Crazy, Helpless, Bad to the Bone
House of the Rising Sun
Just give me Money
Now it’s just Fun Fun Fun
The band owned a van
Now my van’s a mini
Ate and drank what we liked
We were all so skinny
Now we jog through the burbs
Or just sit by our swimming pool
Used to drive all night
Now I work all day
Was on the road for weeks
Now I’m never away
But once in awhile
After the kids have all gone off to school
BRIDGE
Hey it’s a young man’s game » Learning all those tunes
It’s a young man’s game » Got to work the room
It’s a young man’s game » But you sleep all afternoon
It’s a young man’s game
Instrumental
Bridge
It’s a young man’s game » Learning all those tunes
It’s a young man’s game » Got to work the room
It’s a young man’s game » But you sleep all afternoon
It’s a young man’s game
