Good [D]morning miss,
Can I [Am]help you son?

I'll be on my way.
Interlude:
[D] [Am] [D] [Am]
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.
Chorus 1:
[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]

Interlude:
D Am (x2)
Verse 3:
[(Am)] [D]
You mis-[Am]understood,
Six-[D]teen big boy,
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.
Chorus 2:
[Em] Welcome to the [C7]House of [Em]Fun,
Now I've [B7]come of age,

Middle 8:
[A] I'm sorry son,
But [Ebm7]we don't stock;
[A] Party gimmicks,
[F#m] In this shop.
[Bm] Try the House of Fun;
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?
[Am] Do you hear?
A pack of [D]party hats,
With the [Am]coloured tips,

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

Temptation's [C#7]on his way.
[Em] Welcome to the [C7]House of [Em]Fun.
