Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen did this song, not sure whether or not they wrote it. I haven't been able to find the lyrics in the Digitrad or on Google. I'd be most grateful if anyone can provide them. Thanks.

Thanks for the refresh and the attempt, ladies.

The chorus goes:
Too much fun, that's news to me
Too much fun, there must be
A whole lot of things I've never done
And I ain't never had too much fun

Anyone got the verses?

It's a Bill Kirchen tune. I don't have the lyrics, sorry. He was the guitar player with the commander. And he's still out there playing, base here in DC now. His backup group is called Too Much Fun.

Hope this helps. regards Chance

Thanks for the info. Looks like it's time to "take dictation" from the recording. It is a fun, lively song.

TOO MUCH FUN
(Curtis Wright / T. J. Knight)

Blue lights flashin' in my rear view.
The Sheriff said, "Boy, I should've known it was you.
You got fourteen people in the back of this truck.
I warned you twice, now I'm writin' you up."
I said, "Officer, what have I done?"
He smiled and said, "Boy, you're havin' too much fun."

CHORUS: Too much fun, what's that mean?
It's like too much money; there's no such thing.
It's like a girl too pretty, with too much class,
Being too lucky, a car too fast.
No matter what they say I've done,
Well, I ain't never had too much fun.

There was a fight Friday night at the Stumble Inn.
Me and Ol' Harley just had to join in.
Next thing you know, we were both seein' stars.
They threw us out, closed down the bar.
I said, "The Long Branch is open. The night's still young.
And we ain't never had too much fun." CHORUS

I'm a holy terror, a tornado.
Wind me up, turn me loose, and let me go. CHORUS

No matter what they say I've done,
Well, I ain't never had too much fun.
Give me the reins and let me run,
'Cause I ain't never had too much fun.

[Recorded by Daryle Singletary, on his eponymous album, 1995, and on "Now and Again," 2000.]
