If You Ain't Having Fun
©1999 Dakota Sid Clifford


        If you ain't having fun you're prob'ly wasting the one
        And only life you'll ever have to call your own
        If you ain't having a big time, you ought to move it on down the big line
        And leave us poor people here alone

Wasn't that you I saw, laying outside the bar
Far beyond the reach of your physician
Laying around like that, looks like your life's a little flat
Might want to re-examine your position

        If you ain't having fun you're prob'ly wasting the one
        And only life you'll ever have to call your own
        If you ain't having a big time, you ought to move it on down the big line
        And leave us poor people here alone

When did it start to get like you were drifting on the ocean
And lost the beat in life’s little dance
Doesn't it seem a bit like you're in circular motion
On the carousel of circumstance

        If you ain't having fun you're prob'ly wasting the one
        And only life you'll ever have to call your own
        If you ain't having a big time, you ought to move it on down the big line
        And leave us poor people here alone

Instrumental:

That wild look in your eye is getting wilder by the moment
You get no relief by staring at the sun
Drinking at your blues only aggravates the torment
Like looking down the barrel of a gun

        If you ain't having fun you're prob'ly wasting the one
        And only life you'll ever have to call your own
        If you ain't having a big time, you ought to move it on down the big line
        And leave us poor people here alone
