Ricky Van Shelton & The Beach Boys 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 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)
The song "Fun Fun Fun" by Ricky Van Shelton and The Beach Boys tells the story of a rebellious teenage girl who takes her father's T-bird and goes out for a night of fun, leaving behind her responsibilities such as going to the library. She drives recklessly and taunts the boys who try to catch her, enjoying her freedom until her father catches her and takes away the car. However, the singer offers to take her on other adventures, promising more fun, even without the T-bird.
The lyrics capture the spirit of teenage rebellion and the desire for freedom and fun, even if it means breaking the rules. The T-bird becomes a symbol of this desire and the loss of it represents the end of this carefree lifestyle. The singer, however, suggests that there are other ways to have fun and enjoy life, even without a fancy car.
Overall, "Fun Fun Fun" is a catchy, upbeat song with a nostalgic feel, capturing the spirit of youthful rebellion and the importance of having fun in life.
Line by Line Meaning
Well she got her daddy's car
The girl in the song has possession of her dad's car
And she cruised through the hamburger stand now
She drove through the restaurant quickly
Seems she forgot all about the library
She neglected her responsibilities to go to the library
Like she told her old man now
She lied to her father about going to the library
And with the radio blasting
The music on the radio is playing loudly
Goes cruising just as fast as she can now
She is driving as fast as she can
And she'll have fun fun fun
The girl is enjoying herself immensely
'Til her daddy takes the T-bird away
When her father takes away the car, her fun will be over
Well the girls can't stand her
Other girls don't like her
'Cause she walks looks and drives like an ace now
She is really good at walking, looking and driving
She makes the Indy 500 look like a Roman chariot race now
Her driving is so impressive, it rivals an intense chariot race
A lotta guys try to catch her
Many boys try to get her attention
But she leads them on a wild goose chase now
She is not interested in them and is leading them on a fruitless pursuit
Well you knew all along
You were aware of the situation the entire time
That your dad was gettin' wise to you now
Your father has become aware of your behavior
And since he took your set of keys
Since your father took away your keys
You've been thinking that your fun is all through now
You believe that your enjoyment is now over
But you can come along with me
You can join me
'Cause we gotta a lot of things to do now
We have many fun things to do together
And we'll have fun fun fun now that daddy took the T-bird away
We can still have fun even though your father took the car
(Wo wo wo wo woo woo woo)
