"Ain't We Got Fun?" words by Gus Kahn and Raymond B. Egan, Music by Richard A. Whiting.
This is by far one of my favorite early rag-time era tunes. So much fun and proves anything is possible with little imagination and fun!
"The Readers Digest Songbook of Popular Songs That Will Live Forever" says:
This tuneful song in praise of the joys of poverty has been a perennial favourite since it was written in 1921 by the team of Gus Kahn, Richard Whiting and Raymond Egan. Introduced during the heyday of vaudeville when $10 was considered a good week’s pay and the bill collector was a Familia if not quite beloved figure in the neighbourhood-“Ain’t We Got Fun?” Was featured by such top-flight acts as Van and Schenck, who are also remembered for making a hit of “I Wonder What’s Become of Sally” and many other numbers. Gordon McRae revived the song in the 1953 film By The Light of the Silvery Moon.
