Ain't We Got Fun
Richard Whiting / Gus Kahn / Raymond S. Egan
1912

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,
Ain't we got 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 the between time,
Ain't we got fun.

Every morning, every evening
Ain't we got fun
Twins and cares, dear, come in pairs, dear
Ain't we got 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.
