Lyrics
Chorus:
We don’t get much money
But we have a lot of fun
We try acting funny
Tho’ things are on the bum
Tho’ everything seems bad at first
Don’t mind that they’ll soon be worse
We don’t get much money
But we have a lot of fun
Chorus:
We don’t get much money
But we have a lot of fun
We try acting funny
Tho’ things are on the bum
It never rains but what it pours
All our children come in fours
We don’t get much money
But we have a lot of fun
Patter:
Monday is our day of thrills
That’s the day we dodge our bills
Tuesday comes and Wednesday goes
Thursday we go hock our clothes
Friday’s here and we must eat
Saturday the bosses treat
Sunday it’s the same old thing
All we do is sit and sing
Chorus:
We don’t get much money
But we have a lot of fun
We try acting funny
Tho’ things are on the bum
We work a week and how we sweat
Pay day comes, we’re still in debt
We don’t get much money
But we have a lot of fun
Chorus:
We don’t get much money
But we have a lot of fun
We try acting funny
Tho’ things are on the bum
They raise our rent most every day
We don’t care, we move away
We don’t get much money
But we have a lot of fun
Chorus:
We don’t get much money
But we have a lot of fun
We try acting funny
Tho’ things are on the bum
We’re always happy just because
We believe in Santa Claus
We don’t get much money
But we have a lot of fun
