Joy Without Pleasure

[Verse 1] When I was a little kid And all the people they looked big I never exactly understood How to tell the trees from the wood [Chorus] Joy without Pleasure Ain't no fun, ain't no fun at all Joy without Pleasure Ain't no fun, ain't no fun at all [Verse 2] My Mama she took me aside one day She said you better have fun while you play Cause someday you'll wake up and you'll be old And all of your youth will be gone away And you work in a factory and you earn your pay And your fingers will rot and your mind will decay You'll be happy, so happy with your family and house But you'll never, you'll never enjoy yourself [Chorus] [Verse 3] The Son of Charles Dickens had a little red hen Danced the watusi like it was a sin They tried to enjoy it but they feel so guilty Guilt won't allow you to enjoy a stolen apple [Chorus]
