and Cultural Attitudes of the Early 1960s

Thursday, June 18, 2009 Fun, Fun, Fun of the Beach Boys (1964) Well she got her daddy’s car And cruised to the hamburger stand now. Seems she forgot all about the library Like she told her old man now. And with the radio blasting Goes cruising just as fast as she can now. And she’ll have fun, fun, fun ‘Til her daddy takes the t-bird away. Well you knew all along Well the girls can’t stand her That your Dad was getting wise to you now ‘Cause she walks, looks and drives like an ace now. And since he took your set of keys She makes the Indy 500 You’ve been thinking that your fun is all through now Look like a Roman chariot race now. But you can come along with me A lot of guys try to catch her ‘Cause we got a lot of things to do now But she leads them on a wild goose chase now. And we’ll have fun, fun, fun Now that Daddy took the t-bird away And she’ll have fun, fun, fun And we’ll have fun, fun, fun ‘Til her daddy takes the t-bird away. Now that Daddy took the t-bird away
