Lyrics
Chorus
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 poorer
In the meantime, in between time, ain’t we got fun
Chorus
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 bad and getting badder, 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
Chorus
Night or daytime, it’s all play-time, ain’t we got fun
Hot or cold days, any old days, ain’t we got fun
If wifie wishes, to go to a play
Don’t wash the dishes, just throw them away
Street car 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 paid off, I’ll be laid off, ain’t we got fun
