Many children have limited and predictable associations to words, events and objects. If you say happy, they say sad, etc. In promoting creativity, we want to encourage the fluency of associations, the sheer number of associations to words and objects; as well as the originality of associations. This song focuses on originality as it asks children to hold in their mind’s eye “goofy” images such as cotton candy on a bun. The desired experience is the sheer fun of thinking new and wild thoughts.

Song Lyrics:  Just Fun

Guinea pigs in glasses, pickles and molasses
Atmospheric gases
Making rainbows ‘round the sun
Foibles and blunders, overs and unders
No need to wonder, it’s - Just Fun

Ice cream cones in slippers,
Whales with orange flippers
Bananas with zippers
Watching water colors run
Clear to the rear for, stand up and cheer for
That’s what we’re here for - Just Fun

No rhyme or reason to our madness,
Just tons of joyous goofy gladness

Orangutans in nightgowns
Green eggs and ham with hash browns
Baseball with touchdowns
Cotton candy on a bun
Nothing that’s serious, half past delirious
If you should query us – Just Fun

Now it’s time for funny noises
(funny noises ensue) – Just Fun

No rhyme or reason to our madness,
Just tons of joyous gladness

Cumber buns with crimples
Golf balls without dimples

Piglets with pimples
Playing ping pong one by one

All of the rest here, who needs a jester?
When we’re at our best we’re – Just Fun
Put it to the test it’s – Just Fun
Be our special guest for – Just Fun
