about

The party underground. This song may well be 100%
frivolous but I’m sure it has its faults too. My only worry is
that it may not be quite camp enough.

lyrics

We have one last dance ere tomorrow
If tomorrow, tomorrow ever comes
We have one last laugh until sorrow,
Until sorrow, our sorrow overcomes
We have one last moment to borrow
Then tomorrow we tally up the sums
We’ll moan about the wait
Then moan about our fate
‘Til tomorrow, ‘til tomorrow, give me fun!

Give me fun
Give me joy for everyone
Give me fun
Give me fun
Give me rope enough to run
Give me fun
Give me fun
Give me jolly by the ton
Give me fun
Give me fun
One for all and all for one

There’s a pale light down in the hollow
To the hollow we are bidden, we are bound
There be one last star yet to follow
We must follow, be it all the world around
Should the earth wide, open and swallow us whole
Then we’ll start a little party underground
I bid us all farewell
‘til heaven or to hell,
And tomorrow, a tomorrow full of fun

Give me fun
Give me joy for everyone
Give me fun
Give me fun
Give me rope enough to run
Give me fun
Give me fun
Give me jolly by the ton
Give me fun
Give me fun
One for all and all for one
We go far, we go far
We go over land and sea
Guiding star, guiding star
Guide us home in time for tea
Via fun, give me fun
Give me heaven in a bun
Give me fun, give me fun,
Turn me over when I’m done

Lalalalalalalalalah!
Lalalalah! Lalalalalalah!
Lalalalalalalalalah!
Lalalalah! Lalalalalalah!

Should the earth sweep over
And cover us all,
No traces and nothing to be found,
No readies, nor in kind
No worries, never mind
No tomorrow! No tomorrow!
Only fun!

Give me fun
Give me joy for everyone
Give me fun
Give me fun
Give me rope enough to run
Give me fun
Give me fun
Give me jolly by the ton
Give me fun
Give me fun
One for all and all for one
We go far, we go far
We go over land and sea
Guiding star, guiding star
Guide us home in time for tea
Via fun, give me fun
Give me heaven in a bun
Give me fun, give me fun,
Turn me over when I’m done
Give me fun, give me fun,
Turn me over when I’m done
Give me fun, give me fun,

There’s a pale light down in the hollow
There be one last star yet to follow
Give me fun, fun, fun
‘til I’m done, done, done
Give me fun ‘til I’m over and done
Pom, pom!
