Madness – House of Fun Lyrics

Album on Complete Madness

[Verse 1]
Good morning, miss
Can I help you, son?
Sixteen today
And up for fun
I’m a big boy now
Or so they say
So if you’ll serve
I’ll be on my way

[Verse 2]
Box of balloons
With the feather-light touch

Now I’ve come of age
Welcome to the lion’s den
Temptation’s on his way
Welcome to the House of Fun

Not a joke shop!

A pack of party hats
With the coloured tips

Now I’ve come of age
Welcome to the House of Fun
Welcome to the lion’s den
Temptation’s on his way
Welcome to the House of Fun
Welcome to the House of Fun
Now I’ve come of age
Welcome to the House of Fun
Welcome to the lion’s den
Temptation’s on his way
Welcome to the House of Fun
Welcome to the House of Fun
Now I’ve come of age
Welcome to the House of
