Bill collectors gather 'round and rather haunt the cottage next door
Men the grocer and butcher sent, men who call for the rent
But within a happy chappy and his bride of only a year
Seem to be so cheerful, here's an earful of the chatter you hear

Ev'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 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 children
In the meantime, in between time ain't we got fun?

Just to make their trouble nearly double, something happened last night
To their chimney a gray bird came, Mister Stork is his name
And I'll bet two pins, a pair of twins just happened in with the bird
Still they're very gay and merry just at dawning I heard

Ev'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 pop
Are we downhearted? I'll say that we're not

Landlord's mad and getting madder, ain't we got fun?
Times are so bad and getting badder still we have fun
There's nothing surer, the rich get rich and the poor get laid off
In the meantime, in between time ain't we got fun?

When the man who sold 'em carpets told 'em he would take them away
They 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 say
Hubby 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 play
Don't wash the dishes just throw them away

Streetcar 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 laid off I'll be paid off, ain't we got fun?
