about

This is a cover of a popular dance song from the 1920s. It's disturbing how well it holds up 100 years later!

lyrics

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 dime
But all the same dear
We’re having a time

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 poorer
In the meantime, in between time
Ain't we got fun?

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 poorer
In the meantime, in between time
Ain't we got fun?
