D Am (x3), B Bb
Verse 1:
Good [D]morning Miss, can I [Am]help you son?
Six-[D]teen today, and [Am]up for fun.
I'm a [F7]big boy now, or so they say,
So [E7]if you'll serve, I'll be on my way.[D] [Am]
Verse 2:
Box [D]of balloons, with the [Am]feather-light touch,
Pack of [D]party-poppers, that pop [Am]in the night.
A [F7]toothbrush and hairspray, plastic grin,
Miss [E7]Clay on all corners, has just walked in.
Chorus 1:
[Em] Welcome to the [C7]House of [Em]Fun, now I've [B7]come of age,
[Em] Welcome to the [C7]House of [Em]Fun.[B7]
[F#m] Welcome to the [D7]lion's [F#m]den; temptation's [C#7]on his way.
[Em] Welcome to the [C7]House [B7]of...
Interlude:
D Am (x2)
Verse 3:
[(Am)] [D] [Am]
N-n-n-n-n-n-no, no miss; you mis-understood,
Six-[D]teen big boy, full pint, in [Am]my manhood.
I'm [F7]up to date, and the date's today,
So [E7]if you'll serve, I'll be on my way.
Chorus 2:
[F#m] Welcome to the [D7]House of [F#m]Fun, now I've [C#7]come of age,
[F#m] Welcome to the [D7]House of [F#m]Fun.[C#7]
[F#m] Welcome to the [D7]lion's [F#m]den; temptation's [C#7]on his way.
[Em] Welcome to the [C7]House [B7]of...
Interlude:

Middle 8:
[A] I'm sorry son, but [Eb]we don't stock,
[A] Party gimmicks, [F#m]in this shop.
[Bm] Try the House of Fun; it's [G]quicker if you run;
This is a chemist's, not a [A]Joke [A7]Shop!
Verse 4:
[D] Party hats, simple [Am]enough, clear,
Compre-[D]hende? Savvy? Understand? [Am]Do you hear?
A pack of [D]party hats, with the [Am]coloured tips,
[D] Too late; Gorgon's [Am]heard gossip.
Well [F7]hello Joe, hello Miss Clay; many [E7]happy returns from the day.
Chorus 3:
[Em] Welcome to the [C7]House of [Em]Fun, now I've [B7]come of age,
[Em] Welcome to the [C7]House of [Em]Fun.[B7]

[F#m] Welcome to the [D7]House of [F#m]Fun.[B7]
Chorus 4:
[Em] Welcome to the [C7]House of [Em]Fun, now I've [B7]come of age,
[Em] Welcome to the [C7]House of [Em]Fun.[B7]
[F#m] Welcome to the [D7]lion's [F#m]den; temptation's [C#7]on his way.
