Fun & Free Songtext
von Loudon Wainwright III

I got my old job back
Pushing this machine
I′m mowing my own lawn now, like I did at age 14
Six decades have come and gone, hey, I'm the old young me
Mowing my grass, I′m my own boss
And I'm doing it for fun and free

Mum showed me how to vacuum
When I was just a kid
That was then and this is now
And I'm doing what I did
Made it my top of the world
I′m channelling James, can he now?
It′s wall the wall
I'm having a ball
Doing it for fun and free


Hey, doing it for fun and free
That′s my new philosophy
It's practically recovery when you do it for fun and free

I′m doing it for fun and free

The cops keep getting younger
And the car salesman did too
Just how long can this go on?
I can't say I wish I knew
But I′ll say this, here what I'll say
Spend life like it's a spree
′Cause it′s one and done that's it son
So do it for fun and free

Hey, do it for fun and free
Gee whiz and galagy
C′mon, it's easy when you do it for fun and free
Hey, do it for fun and free
It′s practically recovery

Hey, you can keep your approval and your damn money
Because I'm doing it for fun and free
Yeah
