[Intro] [Harmonica riff, loose ukulele strumming, handclaps] Well the truck won’t start And the dog ran away But the beer’s still cold So it’s a beautiful day [Verse 1] My cousin Earl got banned downtown For racing shopping carts around Mama said “Boy, you’ll never learn” He lit a hotdog with a cigarette burn Jimmy broke a lawn chair clean in two Still sat down like cowboys do We ain’t rich, we ain’t smart But we can fake both after dark [Pre-Chorus] Everybody’s worried ‘bout the state of the world We’re worried ‘bout who stole Linda’s squirrel [Chorus] Just have a little fun Before the whole thing comes undone Kick your boots into the sky Laugh so hard your drink goes flyin’ by Sing too loud, dance off beat Wave at strangers in the street Life’s too short to stay high-strung Just have a little fun [Verse 2] Billy brought a ukulele band One guy only knew three chords by hand Didn’t matter once the moon got high Everybody sang like lullaby drunks in July Old man Carter lost his teeth again Found ‘em floating in the punch bowl then Put ‘em back and gave a grin Said “Now the party can begin!” [Pre-Chorus] News on TV says doom and gloom We turned it off and made more room [Chorus] Just have a little fun Before the whole thing comes undone Bang on tables, howl at stars Turn your backyard into bars Raise a glass to broken plans Bad tattoos and cover bands Life’s too short to bite your tongue Just have a little fun [Bridge] [Half-time feel, harmonica takes lead] Some folks chase gold Some chase fame We just chase whoever forgot their name And if tomorrow falls apart At least tonight we played our part [Final Chorus] Just have a little fun Till the morning sun comes up undone Sing with smoke and gravel lungs Like outlaw angels slightly drunk Hold on loose and love someone Even if they owe you one Life’s a joke we all outrun So just have a little fun [Outro] [Ukulele, harmonica, group shouting] “Somebody find Earl!” “Check the tractor!” [laughter fades out]
