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? |
