[Verse 1]
I come home in the morning light
My mother says, "When you gonna live your life right?"
Oh momma dear, we're not the fortunate ones
And girls, they wanna have fun
Oh, girls just wanna have fun

[Verse 2]
The phone rings in the middle of the night
My father yells, "What you gonna do with your life?"
Oh daddy dear, you know you're still number one
But girls, they wanna have fun
Oh, girls just wanna have

[Chorus]
That's all they really want
Some fun
When the working day is done
Oh, girls, they wanna have fun
Oh, girls just wanna have fun

[Post-Chorus]
Girls, they want, wanna have fun
Girls, wanna have

[Verse 3]
Some boys take a beautiful girl
And hide her away from the rest of the world
I wanna be the one to walk in the sun
Oh, girls, they wanna have fun
Oh, girls just wanna have

[Chorus]
That's all they really want
Is some fun
When the working day is done
Oh, girls, they wanna have fun
Oh, girls just wanna have fun

[Post-Chorus]
Girls, they want, wanna have fun
Girls, wanna have

[Outro]
They just wanna, they just wanna
(Girls…)
They just wanna, they just wanna
(Girls just wanna have fun)
(Girls just wanna have fun)
Girls just wanna have fun
They just wanna, they just wanna
They just wanna, they just wanna
(Girls…)
They just wanna, they just wanna
(Girls just wanna have fun)
Girls, girls just wanna have fun
When the working
When the working day is done
Oh, when the working day is done
Oh, girls, girls just wanna have fun...
They just wanna, they just wanna
(Girls…)
They just wanna, they just wanna
(Girls just wanna have fun)
Girls, girls just wanna have fun
They just wanna, they just wanna
When the working
When the working day is done
They just wanna, they just wanna
(Girls…)
Oh, when the working day is done
Oh, girls, girls just wanna have fun
Girls just wanna have fun
They just wanna, they just wanna
They just wanna

Cyndi Lauper

An 80’s pop starlet that skyrocketed her way to the top of the mainstream game, Cyndi Lauper has made her mark as an artist both socially and musically.

Beginning her solo career in the 1983 with hit debut album She’s So Unusual, Lauper came to be a household name with the four top-five hits that came with the record, including breakthrough single “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” and the visceral, chart-topping “Time After Time”. Her camp attitude, electrifying vocals, and unrelenting earworms made an impression on the general public, and she would take home Best New Artist and Best Album Package at the Grammy’s for She’s So Unusual, amidst 4 other nominations. Lauper would never reach the same sort of stardom again musically following She’s So Unusual, but her legacy was far from over.

She’s So Unusual set the ground for her next True Colors. Released in 1986, the album most notably contained title-track “True Colors”, which would grow to become a primary anthem of the gay rights movement. Lauper would later serve as a key advocate of the LGBT community, and she has fairly consistently addressed homophobia throughout her career.
