You Gotta Fight For Your Right To Be Funny Lyrics

Kick it!

You make a funny song just a short time ago.
You send it to the deejays but they all say "No!"
You spent a lot of time to get your song to work.
But the deejay treats you like you're some kind of jerk!

You gotta fight, for your right, to be funny!

The deejay tells you to get a real job.
The deejay acts like he's such a snob.
Trying to succeed is such a drag.
Tellin' you to "give it up" is all they nag.

You gotta fight, for your right, to be funny!

You gotta fight!

(guitar solo)

We will persist though they just don't care,
We'll make them so mad that they will pull their hair!
All of the critics say "What's that noise?"
(For other recording artists)
We're just spoofing the Beastie Boys!
(alternate line for the DeasTee Boys)
They're just jealous, it's the Deas-Tee-Boys!

You gotta fight, for your right, to be funny!

You gotta fight, for your right, to be funny!

Funnnnnnnnnnnnnnnny!

Funnnnnnnnnnnnnnnny!
