Here's a tale that's shocking,
Landlords knocking at
the cottage next door.
Butchers, bakers,
and milkmen too,
With accounts overdue.
But within,
A happy girl and chappy,
Married only a year.
Seem to keep quite cheerful,
here's an earful of the chatter you hear.
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 suit
But smiles were made, dear,
for me and for you
Though there's nothing in the lotter,
don't we have fun?
Things are hard and getting harder,
still we have fun.
There's nothing sure,
the rich get rich and the poor get poorer.
In the meantime, in between time,
ain't we got fun?
Every morning, every evening,
oh, we got fun
Twins and cares, dear,
common pairs, dear
But we got fun
We've only started our family tree,
we're not downhearted, we might have had three.
Oh, that lord's mad and it's getting madder,
ain't we got fun?
Times are bad and getting badder,
still we have fun.
There's nothing sure,
the rich get rich and the poor get nothing.
In the meantime, in between time,
ain't we a -got a time?
Oh yeah!
