Bill collectors gather 'round and rather haunt the cottage next doorMen the grocer and butcher sent, men who call for the rentBut within a happy chappy and his bride of only a yearSeem to be so cheerful, here's an earful of the chatter you hearEv'ry morning, ev'ry 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 busBut smiles were made dear for people like usIn the winter in the summer don't we have fun?Times are bum and getting bummer still we have funThere's nothing surer, the rich get rich and the poor get childrenIn the meantime, in between time ain't we got fun?Just to make their trouble nearly double, something happened last nightTo their chimney a gray bird came, Mister Stork is his nameAnd I'll bet two pins, a pair of twins just happened in with the birdStill they're very gay and merry just at dawning I heardEv'ry morning, ev'ry 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 popAre we downhearted? I'll say that we're notLandlord's mad and getting madder, ain't we got fun?Times are so bad and getting badder still we have funThere's nothing surer, the rich get rich and the poor get laid offIn the meantime, in between time ain't we got fun?When the man who sold 'em carpets told 'em he would take them awayThey 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 sayHubby 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 playDon't wash the dishes just throw them awayStreetcar seats are awful narrow, ain't we got fun?They won't smash up our pierce arrow, we ain't got noneThey've cut my wages but my income tax will be so much smallerWhen I'm laid off I'll be paid off, ain't we got fun?
