If you`re sittin` out there wondering what to do
Me and the fellas got a message for you

(You ought to be havin` fun
You ought to be havin` fun
Put your troubles on the run)
The best things in life are free
(The best things in life are free)

(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, `cause...

(You ought to be, you ought to be
You ought to be, you ought...)

(You ought to be havin` fun
You ought to be havin` fun
Put your troubles on the run)
the best things in life are free
(The best things in life are free)

(You ought to be havin` fun)
You owe it to yourself
(You ought to be havin` fun)
Don`t sit there on the shelf
Go out and get some fun
I`m sure you will agree

(You ought to be, you ought to be...
You ought to be, you ought...)

(You ought to be havin` fun
You ought to be havin` fun)

(You ought to be, you ought to be...
You ought to be, you ought...)

(You ought to be havin` fun
You ought to be havin` fun
Put your troubles on the run)
The best things in life are free
(the best things in life are free)

(You ought to be havin` fun)
And come on to the park
(You ought to be havin` fun)
And stay out after dark
C`mon everybody, have fun with me
Have fun with me, `cause...

(You ought to be, you ought to be...
You ought to be, you ought...)

(You ought to be havin` fun
You ought to be havin` fun)
