The Madness-"House of Fun" lyrics

16 year old boy turns the radio on at his party (1st shot)

Good morning miss
Can I help you son?
Sixteen today
And up for fun
I'm a big boy now
Or so they say
So if you'll serve
I'll be on my way

we see that there is no one at the party, he is upset and we see everything around him is too young (Jelly, Ice Cream etc)

Box of balloons
With the feather-light touch
Pack of party-poppers
That pop in the night
A toothbrush and hairspray
Plastic grin
Miss Clay on all corners
Has just walked in

He goes to open his presents and we see that they are childish and young, he opens his cards and gets an invite to the "house of fun".

Welcome to the House of Fun
Now I've come of age
Welcome to the House of Fun
Welcome to the lion's den
Temptation's on his way
Welcome to the House of

He leaves the party and starts the journey to the "House of fun", walking down the street with clothes coming on him maturing him.

N-n-n-n-n-n-no no miss
You misunderstood
Sixteen big boy
Full pint in my manhood
I'm up to date
And the date's today
So if you'll serve
I'll be on my way

He goes to the shop and buys alcohol and cigarettes and is joined by more people.

Welcome to the House of Fun
Now I've come of age
Welcome to the lion's den
Temptation's on his way
Welcome to the House of (Fun)

They walk down the road performing and miming the song

I'm sorry son
But we don't stock
Party gimmicks
In this shop
Try the House of Fun
It's quicker if you run
This is a chemist's
Not a joke shop!

Looks at the invite and discovers it is at his own house then changes direction

Party hats
Simple enough clear
Comprehende savvy understand
Do you hear?
A pack of party hats
With the coloured tips
Too late!
Gorgon heard gossip
Well hello Joe, hello Miss Clay
Many happy returns from the day

A more mature boy and his friends arrive at the party finally.

Welcome to the House of Fun
Now I've come of age
Welcome to the House of Fun
Welcome to the lion's den
Temptation's on his way
Welcome to the House of Fun
Welcome to the House of Fun...

He Arrives to find he is the most mature one there, whilst those at the party are young and immature, he enjoys himself at the party.
