Just for the Fun of It

[Silence]
[Arrangement: Bright, bouncy piano-rock with handclaps, organ stabs, playful guitar, and gang-vocal call-and-response]

[Intro]
Hey!
(What do you say?)
Come on now
(Just for the fun of it!)

[Verse 1]
You can count your worries
(One by one)
Or shake them loose
(And have some fun)

You can sit there waiting
(For the perfect fit)
Or jump right in
(Just for the fun of it)

A little laugh
(Can clear the air)
A little joy
(From anywhere)

You don’t need a reason
(To commit)
Sometimes it’s enough
(Just for the fun of it)

[Chorus]
Just for the fun of it
(That’s the ticket)
Just for the fun of it
(Come on and kick it)

Just for the fun of it
(Go on, admit)
Life gets better
(Just for the fun of it)

[Refrain]
Hey!
What do you say…
(Just for the fun of it)

At any rate
Exuberate!
(And make it a habit)

Exuberate!
(Just for the fun of it)

[Verse 2]
You can make a mountain
(Out of every chore)
Or make a little music
(Right there on the floor)

You can drag your feet
(Or move a bit)
Loosen up now
(Just for the fun of it)

Nobody promised
(A perfect plan)
But joy still fits
(Wherever you can)

So clap your hands
(And laugh a bit)
Do it tonight
(Just for the fun of it)

[Chorus]
Just for the fun of it
(That’s the ticket)
Just for the fun of it
(Come on and kick it)

Just for the fun of it
(Go on, admit)
Life gets better
(Just for the fun of it)

[Bridge]
[Instrumental]
[Piano Solo]
[Organ Solo]

[Breakdown]
Everyone:
(Have a little fun)
Have a little fun
(Everyone!)

Have some fun
(Way past none)

[Final Chorus]
Just for the fun of it
(That’s the ticket)
Just for the fun of it
(Come on and kick it)

Just for the fun of it
(Go on, admit)
Life gets better
(Just for the fun of it)

Just for the fun of it
(Don’t overthink it)
Just for the fun of it
(Come on and sing it)

[Final Refrain]
Hey!
What do you say…
(Just for the fun of it)

At any rate
Exuberate!
(And make it a habit)

Exuberate!
(Just for the fun of it)

Hey!
What do you say…
(Just for the fun of it)

[Outro]
Come on now
(Just for the fun of it)
One more time
(Just for the fun of it)

Why not?
(Just for the fun of it)
