Alvin and the Chipmunks Wiki

"Girls Just Want to Have Fun" is a song originally written and performed by Robert Hazard, reaching the height of its popularity when performed by Cyndi Lauper, that is covered by The Chipettes in the Alvin and the Chipmunks episode The Greatest Show-Offs on Earth. An extended version is also included in the albums Songs from Our TV Shows, The Chipmunks 35th Birthday Party, Here's Looking at Me!, and School's Out for Summer. The song was re-recorded and shortened for the album Rockin' Through the Decades and the Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel video game.

Episode Version

The Chipettes:
I come home in the morning light
My mother says "When you gonna live your life right?"
Oh mother dear "We're not the fortunate ones"
And girls, they wanna have fu-un
Oh girls, just wanna have fun

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 fu-un
Oh girls, just wanna have

That's all they really want
Some fun
When the working day is done
Oh girls, they wanna have fu-un
Oh girls, just wanna have fun

Girls
They wanna
They wanna have fun
Girls
Wanna have
