Ain't We Got Fun? |
| Bill collectors gather 'round and rather |
| Haunt the cottage next door |
| Men the grocer and butcher sent |
| Men who call for the rent |
| But within a happy chappy |
| And his bride of only a year |
| Seem to be so cheerful, here’s an earful |
| Of the chatter you hear |
| Every morning, every evening |
| Ain’t we got fun? |
| Not much money, Oh, but honey |
| Ain’t we got fun? |
| The rent’s unpaid dear |
| We haven’t a bus |
| But smiles were made dear |
| For people like us |
| In the winter in the Summer |
| Don’t we have fun |
| Times are bum and getting bummer |
| Still we have fun |
| There’s nothing surer |
| The rich get rich and the poor get children |
| In the meantime, in between time |
| Ain’t we got fun? |
| Just to make their trouble nearly double |
| Something happened last night |
| To their chimney a gray bird came |
| Mister Stork is his name |
| And I’ll bet two pins, a pair of twins |
| Just happened in with the bird |
| Still they’re very gay and merry |
| Just at dawning I heard |
| Every morning, every evening |
| Don’t we have fun |
| Twins and cares, dear, come in pairs, dear |
| Don’t we have fun |
| We’ve only started |
| As mommer and pop |
| Are we downhearted |
| I’ll say that we’re not |
| Landlords mad and getting madder |
| Ain’t we got fun? |
| Times are so bad and getting badder |
| Still we have fun |
| There’s nothing surer |
| The rich get rich and the poor get laid off |
| In the meantime, in between time |
| Ain’t we got fun? |
| When the man who sold 'em carpets told 'em |
| He would take them away |
| They said, «Wonderful, here’s our chance |
| Take them up and we’ll dance» |
| And when burglars came and robbed them |
| Taking all their silver, they say |
| Hubby yelled, «We're famous, for they’ll name us |
| In the papers today |
| Night or daytime, it’s all playtime |
| Ain’t we got fun? |
| Hot or cold days, any old days |
| Ain’t we got fun |
| If Wifey wishes |
| To go to a play |
| Don’t wash the dishes |
| Just throw them away |
| Streetcar seats are awful narrow |
| Ain’t we got fun? |
| They won’t smash up our Pierce Arrow |
| We ain’t got none |
| They’ve cut my wages |
| But my income tax will be so much smaller |
| When I’m laid off, I’ll be paid off |
| Ain’t we got fun? |
