lyrics

Me and The Rooster were playing on Saturday night
Down at the local bar on the East side
We were bringing down the house and they were screaming for more
Dancing like Kevin Bacon in 1984
Just when I was popping my rock n’ roll boner
A man tapped me on the shoulder, told me he was the owner
He said, “You need a license for dancing in here
So could you tell all these people to get back in their chairs?”

In no fun city, no fun city, no fun city
A few people never hurt anyone
Why write a law that sucks, up all the fun
In no fun city, no fun city, no fun city

Went to cabaret to see the Demon Squadron play
It was Friday night and packed as tight as a Tokyo subway
The band was smoking hotter than the surface of the sun
The crowd was blowing up like the Challenger One
At 10pm the venue pulled the plug on the show
They said we got to make room for the disco, let’s go
And as they cleared the room and hustled us out the door
We saw a DJ spinning to an empty dance floor

In no fun city, no fun city, no fun city
Why kick everyone when the night has just begun?
Sure you make more money but it sure ain’t no fun
In no fun city, no fun city, no fun city

There’s a story I’ve been hearing again and again
About a guy who moves to the heart of East Van
He heard the neighbourhood was good and vibrant and hip
So he got a flat above a bar right down on the strip
Soon the music and the laughter it made him uptight
Till he learned how to make it stop, he called the cops every night
Now that bar has a decibel meter they keep waving around
Cuz if we have a good time they get a fine, so we’ve got to keep it down

In no fun city, no fun city, no fun city
There are so many places you could live under the sun
So why would you move here when you’re no fun?
In no fun city, no fun city, no fun city
