Doris Day's, "Ain't We Got Fun"
The Lyrics:
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 the between time
Ain't we got fun.
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 the between time
Ain't we got fun.
Why:
Despite of its upbeat melody, which was even more so with the Renee Olstead cover, the lyrics are a bitter satire on economic hardships, poverty and class divide.
