Bill collectors gather 
'Round and rather 
Haunt the cottage next door 
Men the grocer and butcher sent 
Men who call for the rent 
But with in a happy chappy 
And his bride of only a year 
Seem to be so cheerful 
Here's an earful 
Of the chatter you hear

Just to make their trouble nearly double 
Something happen'd 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 happen'd in with the bird
Still they're very gay and merry 
Just at dawning I heard

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 
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 the between time 
Ain't we got fun.

Every morning 
Every 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 
Landlords 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.
