House of Fun

Words and Music © 1989 by Howard Ashby Kranz

A D

1. The tunnel of love leads to the gates of wisdom, and the

E G A

hall of mirrors and the house of fun.

A D

It’s out of the frying pan and into the microwave and

E G A

this minstrel’s wandering days are done.

D A

Rentin’ was easy, and it kept you free

G E A

but there’s nothing like painting the walls of your very own property

D A

Chorus: House of fun, oh yeah, house of fun

E F#m

It ain’t no palace but it’s all our own

D A F#m

It eats our money, and our lives it will haunt

D C#m E A

but we can paint it any color we want.

A D

2. At the end of the rainbow there’s a wanted poster, if you

E G A

catch ‘em alive then there’s a big reward..

A D

But I’ve got a one-way ticket to wherever we are right now

E G A

you tell that conductor I’m all aboard.

D A

I dreamed I signed my name in the book of doom

G E A

That was symbolic of the mortgage, I assume.

Chorus

A D

3. The moment of truth opens the window of opportunity, then there’s

E G A

bundles of joy, but it’s a can of worms.

A D

I never thought that I would affix my signature

E G A

until you offered such easy terms.

D A

So now we close, and here it comes!

G E A

Our leap of faith into our house of fun.
