Joy Without Pleasure – Daniel Johnston – letras

When I was a little kidAnd all the people they looked bigI never exactly understoodHow to tell the trees from the woodJoy without PleasureAin’t no fun, ain’t no fun at allJoy without PleasureAin’t no fun, ain’t no fun at allMy Mama she took me aside one dayShe said you better have fun while you play’Cause someday you’ll wake up and you’ll be oldAnd all of your youth will be gone awayAnd you work in a factory and you earn your payAnd your fingers will rot and your mind will decayYou’ll be happy, so happy with your family and houseBut you’ll never, you’ll never enjoy yourselfJoy without PleasureAin’t no fun, ain’t no fun at allJoy without PleasureAin’t no fun, ain’t no fun at allThe Son of Charles Dickens had a little red henDanced the watusi like it was a sinThey tried to enjoy it but they feel so guiltyGuilt won’t allow you to enjoy a stolen appleJoy without PleasureAin’t no fun, ain’t no funJoy without PleasureAin’t no fun, ain’t no fun
