Fun Fun Fun
Beach Boys & Jan And Dean Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And she cruised through 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
(Fun fun fun 'til her daddy takes the T-bird away)
Well the girls can't stand her
'Cause she walks, looks and drives like an ace now
(You walk like an ace now, you walk like an ace)
She makes the Indy 500 look like a Roman chariot race now
(You look like an ace now, you look like an ace)
A lotta guys try to catch her
But she leads them on a wild goose chase now
(You drive like an ace now, you drive like an ace)
And she'll have fun fun fun
'Til her daddy takes the T-bird away
(Fun fun fun 'til her daddy takes the T-bird away)
Well you knew all along
That your dad was gettin' wise to you now
(You shouldn't have lied now, you shouldn't have lied)
And since he took your set of keys
You've been thinking that your fun is all through now
(You shouldn't have lied now, you shouldn't have lied)
But you can come along with me
'Cause we gotta a lot of things to do now
(You shouldn't have lied now, you shouldn't have lied)
And we'll have fun fun fun now that daddy took the T-bird away
(Fun fun fun now that daddy took the T-bird away)
And you'll have fun fun fun now that daddy took the T-bird away
(Fun fun fun now that daddy took the T-bird away)
(Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo)
(Fun fun now that daddy took the T-bird away)
(Fun fun now that daddy took the T-bird away)
(Fun fun now that daddy took the T-bird away)
(Fun fun now that daddy took the T-bird away)
(Fun fun now that daddy took the T-bird away)
The Beach Boys & Jan And Dean's song "Fun Fun Fun" is about a girl who takes her dad's T-bird and goes cruising, ignoring her responsibilities like going to the library. She drives fast and impresses everyone with her driving skills, which makes the other girls jealous, while the boys try to catch her attention. However, her father eventually finds out about her escapades and takes her car away. Despite this, the lyrics suggest that she still intends to have fun and will find a way to do so even without the T-bird.
The song captures the carefree spirit of youth and the desire to break free from the constraints of responsibility. The T-bird is a symbol of freedom and independence, a common theme in many rock songs of that era. The lyrics also touch on the idea of rebellion, as the girl challenges her father's authority by taking his car and living life on her own terms.
