  *++Lyrics:|\\
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.\\
