Well, she got her daddy’s car
And she cruised through the hamburger stand-now,
Seems she forgot all about the library
Like she told her ol’ man-now,
And with the radio blastin’ goes cruisin’
Just as fast as she can-now

And she’ll have fun, fun, fun,
Till her daddy takes the T-bird away

Well you knew all along that your dad
Was gettin’ wise to you-now
(Should’na lied now, should’na lied)
And since he took your set of keys you’ve been
Thinkin’ that your fun is all through-now
(Should’na lied now, should’na lied)
But you can come along with me ’cause we
Gotta lotta things to do-now

And we’ll have fun, fun, fun
Now that daddy took the T-bird away

Fun, fun, fun
Now that daddy took the T-bird away

Fun, fun, fun
Now that daddy took the T-bird away

If you have an interest in the structure of words and phrases, you can dissect the lyrics to Fun, Fun, Fun by The Carpenters in multiple ways. The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to Fun, Fun, Fun" means the words set to the music of Fun, Fun, Fun, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by The Carpenters. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics.
