Verse
1
Bill
col-lec-tors gath-er "round and rath-er haunt the cot-tage next door,
Men
the gro-cer and butch-er sent, Men who call for the rent.
But
with-in a hap-py chap-py and his bride of on-ly a year,
Seem
to be so cheer-ful, Here's an ear full of the chat-ter you hear.
Chorus
1
Ev-'ry
morn-ing Ev-'ry eve-ning Ain't we got fun,
Not
much mon-ey, Oh but hon-ey, Ain't We Got Fun
The
rent's un-paid dear, We have-nt a bus,
But
smiles were made dear, for peo-ple like us
In
the win-ter, in the sum-mer, Don't we have fun,
Times
are bum and get-ting bum-mer, Still we have fun
There's
nothing sur-er, The rich get rich and the poor get child-ren
In
the mean-time, In be-tween time, Ain't we got fun.
Verse
2
Just
to make their troub-le near-ly doub-le,
some-thing
hap-pen'd last night.
To
their chim-ney a gray bird came, Mr Stork is his name.
And
I'll bet two pins A pair of twins just hap-pen'd in with the bird.
Still
the're ver-y gay and mer-ry, Just at dawn-ing I heard.
Chorus
2
Ev-'ry
morn-ing Ev-'ry eve-ning Don't we got fun,
Twins
and cares dear, come in pairs dear,Don't we have fun
We've
on-ly start-ed, As mom-mer and pop, Are we down-heart-ed,
I'll
say that we're not.
Land-lords
mad and get-ting mad-der, Ain't we got fun,
Times
are bad and get-ting bad-der, Still we have fun
There's
nothing sur-er, The rich get rich and the poor get laid off
In
the mean-time, In be-tween time, Ain't we got fun
Verse
3
When
the man who sold 'em car-pets told 'em, He would take them a-way,
They
said "Won-der-ful here's our chance, Take them up and we"ll dance"
And
when bur-glars came and robb'd them tak-ing all their sil-ver they say.
Hub-by
yell'd "We're fa-mous for they'll name us in the pa-pers to-day"
Chorus
3
Night
or day-time, It's all play-time, Ain't we got fun,
Hot
or cold days, An-y old days,Ain't we got fun
If
wif-ie wish-es, To go to a play,
Don't
wash the dish-es, Just throw them a-way
Street
car seats are aw-ful nar-row, Ain't we got fun
They
won't smash up our Pierce Ar-row, We ain't got none
They've
cut my wag-es, (But my) income tax will be so much smal-ler,
When
I'm paid off, I'll be laid off, Ain't we got fun
