Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If you're sittin' out there wonderin' what to do
Ma and the fellas got a message for you
[Verse 2]
(You ought to be havin' fun) Whoa
(You ought to be havin' fun) Yeah, yeah
(Put your troubles on the run)
The best things in life are free (The best things in life are free)
[Verse 3]
(You ought to be havin' fun) Makin' someone happy
(You ought to be havin' fun) It'll make you feel so glad
Go out and love someone
Be as free as you can be, come on
[Verse 4]
(You ought to be, you ought to be)
(You ought to be, you ought)
[Verse 5]
(You ought to be be havin' fun) Everybody, come on
(You ought to be be havin' fun) Have some fun with me, yeah, yeah
(Put your troubles on the run)
The best things in life are free (The best things in life are free)
[Verse 6]
(You ought to be be havin' fun) You owe it to yourself
(You ought to be be havin' fun) Don't sit there on the shelf
Go out and get some sun
I'm sure you will agree, oh, with me
[Verse 7]
(You ought to be, you ought to be)
(You ought to be, you ought to be)
(You ought to be, you ought to be)
(You ought to be, you ought)
[Verse 8]
(You ought to be be havin' fun) Well
(You ought to be be havin' fun) Oh, everybody
(Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo)
(Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo)
[Verse 9]
(You ought to be, you ought to be) Whoa
(You ought to be, you ought to be)
(You ought to be, you ought to be) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, baby
(You ought to be, you ought)
[Verse 10]
(You ought to be havin' fun) Oh
(You ought to be havin' fun) Everybody
(Put your troubles on the run)
The best things in life are free, yeah (The best things in life are free)
[Verse 11]
(You ought to be havin' fun) Come on to the park
(You ought to be havin' fun) And stay out after dark
Come on everybody (Everyone)
Have fun with me, have fun with me, go
[Verse 12]
(You ought to be, you ought to be)
(You ought to be, you ought)
(You ought to be, you ought to be, you ought to be)
(You ought to be, you ought)
[Verse 13]
(You ought to be havin' fun) Everybody have some fun with me
(You ought to be, you ought to be) Gonna go on, get down
(You ought to be, you ought) Party-hardy
(You ought to be havin' fun) Everybody now
(You ought to be, you ought to be) Listen to me
(You ought to be, you ought)
(You ought to be havin' fun) Everybody
