Verse 2:

Box [D]of balloons,
With the [Am]feather-light touch,

A [F7]toothbrush and hairspray,
Plastic grin,
Miss [E7]Clay on all corners,
Has just walked in.

[Em] Welcome to the [C7]House of [Em]Fun,
Now I've [B7]come of age,
[Em] Welcome to the [C7]House of [Em]Fun.[B7]

Verse 3:

[(Am)] [D]

N-n-n-n-n-n-no, no miss;

You mis-[Am]understood,

Full pint in [Am]my manhood.

I'm [F7]up to date
And the date's today,
So [E7]if you'll serve,
I'll be on my way.

[A] I'm sorry son,
But [Ebm7]we don't stock;
[A] Party gimmicks,

It's [G]quicker if you run,
This is a chemist's,
Not a [A]joke [A7]shop!

Verse 4:

[D] Party hats,
Simple [Am]enough clear,
Compre-[D]hende, savvy, understand?

A pack of [D]party hats,

Gorgon [Am]heard gossip.

Well [F7]hello Joe, hello Miss Clay,
Many [E7]happy returns from the day.
