Additional Lyrics:

Verse 3:

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 robb'd them
Taking all their silver they say
Hubby yell'd "We're famous,
For they'll name us
In the papers today"

Chorus 3:

Night and Day time
It's all playtime
Ain't we got fun
Hot or cold days
Any old days
Ain't we got fun

If wifie wishes
To go to a play
Don't wash the dishes
Just throw them away

Street car seats are
Awful narrow
Ain't we got fun
They won't smash up
Our Pierce Arrow
We ain't got fun

They're cut my wages
But my income tax will be
So much smaller
When I'm paid off
I'll be laid off
Ain't we got fun
