AIN'T WE GOT FUN?
Words by Gus Kahn and Raymond B. Egan
Music by Richard Whiting
1921

Ev'ry morning
Ev'ry 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

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?

Just to make their trouble nearly double,
Something happen'd last night.
To their chimney a gray bird came,
Mr. 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:

Ev'ry morning
Ev'ry evening
Don't we got 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 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?

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!"

Night or daytime,
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,

They've cut my wages,
But my income tax will be so much smaller,
When I'm paid off,
I'll be laid off

Faithfulness Required

Read: 1 Corinthians 4:1-5,14-20

It is required in stewards that one be found faithful. —1 Corinthians 4:2

Bible In One Year: 1 Samuel 25-26; Luke 12:32-59

---

Much of our attention and praise is directed toward highly visible and successful people. But occasionally we read about an ordinary, obscure person being honored for many years of faithful service. It may be a school custodian, a cafeteria worker, a handyman, or a clerk in a store who has served others in a dependable and unselfish way.

That kind of reliability often goes unnoticed, but I believe it's a powerful picture of how we are to live. Although consistency may not be flashy, days add up to a life of great significance to God.

Paul wrote, "It is required in stewards that one be found faithful" (1 Corinthians 4:2). If we live faithfully for Christ, God has promised to reward us at His appointed time. When the Lord comes, He "will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness and reveal the counsels of the hearts. Then each one's praise will come from God" (v.5).

When we long for success, God says, "I will reward you."

When we ache for recognition, God says, "I see you."

When we are ready to quit, God says, "I will help you."

Whether our service is public or private, our responsibility is the same—to be faithful. —David McCasland

In all the little things of life,
Yourself, Lord, may I see;
In little and in great alike,
Help me to faithful be! —Anon.

God doesn't ask us to be successful but to be faithful.

[The Mayor]

It is required in stewards that one be found faithful. —1 Corinthians 4:2

God doesn't ask us to be successful but to be faithful.
