Lyrics
HAVIN FUN
Verse 1:
A- We came home from a party,
Just sittin around
having one last one,
Just minding our own business,
Not doing nobody no harm.
We lit up a couple of doobies
Didn't know that it was so wrong,
We lit up a couple of doobies,
Not doing nobody no harm.
Verse 2:
A- In came a man with a badge and a gun
He said now, I don't like you having fun
He took our beer and he took our grass,
He said, now boys, I'm gonna bust your ass.
We said, no, no, no,
Come on please mister, sir,
Do us a favor and just disappear.
Verse 3:
He said, whatcha doing?
As if I couldn't smell.
Don't you know that this shit will lead you straight to Hell.
Oh, thank you sir,
Now we know the ramifications of what we blow.
Well, all our friends said it was so great,
Just had to try it,
Just couldn't wait.
1st Chorus:
He said,
Don't you know don't you know
He said now,
Don't you know don't you know
I don't like you havin fun.
Bridge:
What do you do with a person like him,
Don't have no invite,
Just come busting in,
Trying to tell us how we should be,
In this land of the brave and the free.
1st Chorus
Verse 4
He said, I guess you learned your lesson quite well,
Guess I don't have to take you and throw you in a cell.
So,you be good from now on,
I best not see you again,
Now I'm gone.
Then we reached into our secret stash,
And pulled out a gram of the finest hash.
2nd Chorus:
Don't you know don't you know
We were just havin fun
Don't you know don't you know
We were just havin fun.
Repeat 2nd Chorus
