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 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)
(Wo wo wo wo 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)
(Fun fun now that daddy took the T-bird away)
In the lyrics of "Fun" by Coldplay, the singer describes a rebellious young woman who is enjoying her freedom and independence by cruising around in her father's car. She seems to be carefree and living in the moment, choosing to have fun rather than follow the rules or responsibilities she may have. The image of her speeding through life with the radio blasting conveys a sense of excitement and thrill in her actions.
The girl is depicted as someone who exudes confidence and skill, with others admiring her looks, walk, and driving prowess. She is likened to a professional race car driver, turning heads and leaving others in awe of her abilities. Despite the attention she receives from admirers, she remains elusive, leading them on a fruitless pursuit as she continues to enjoy her own company and freedom.
As the story unfolds, it becomes evident that the girl's father is catching on to her behavior and decides to take away her keys, signaling the end of her carefree joyride. However, the singer steps in and offers a sense of camaraderie and adventure, suggesting that there are still plenty of exciting experiences to be had despite the temporary setback. This shift in perspective reflects a theme of resilience and adaptability in the face of challenges.
The chorus of the song repeats the idea of having fun despite obstacles and restrictions, emphasizing the importance of embracing life's moments of joy and spontaneity. The imagery of the "T-bird" being taken away serves as a metaphor for losing a sense of freedom and control, but also hints at the possibility of finding new sources of enjoyment and fulfillment. Overall, the lyrics paint a vivid picture of youthful rebellion, friendship, and the enduring spirit of seeking happiness even in the face of adversity.

Well she got her daddy's car
She borrowed her father's car
And she cruised through the hamburger stand now
She drove past the fast food restaurant
Seems she forgot all about the library
She neglected her promise to go to the library
Like she told her old man now
As she had informed her father
And with the radio blasting
The music playing loudly
Goes cruising just as fast as she can now
Driving at maximum speed
And she'll have fun fun fun
She will enjoy herself greatly
'Til her daddy takes the T-bird away
Until her father confiscates the car
Well the girls can't stand her
Other girls dislike her
'Cause she walks looks and drives like an ace now
She walks, looks, and drives very confidently
She makes the Indy 500 look like a Roman chariot race now
She drives like a professional racer
A lotta guys try to catch her
Many guys try to pursue her
But she leads them on a wild goose chase now
But she enjoys leading them on and not committing
Well you knew all along
You were aware from the beginning
That your dad was gettin' wise to you now
That your father was catching onto your actions
And since he took your set of keys
And now that he has confiscated your keys
You've been thinking that your fun is all through now
You believed your enjoyment was over
But you can come along with me
But you can join me
'Cause we gotta a lot of things to do now
Because we have many activities planned
And we'll have fun fun fun now that daddy took the T-bird away
And we will still have a great time despite losing the car
