Liner Notes

The song "Ain't We Got Fun" is from the Depression Era of the 1930's. Time for a little resurrection! #folk #rock #singersongwriter #acoustic #uke #guywithukulele

Lyrics

(C) They tell us we should welcome Fascists (Dm) ain't we got fun (G7) His crimes are all wiped away (C) aint we got (C7) fun The rent's unpaid, dear, and we haven't a bus Hard times were made, dear, for people like us Billionares live on our backside, don't we have fun Times are bum and getting bummer, if you're not Chris tian There's nothing sure at all rich get rich and the poor can suck it In the meantime, our rights our gone, fine. We ain't got none.

Cronies with no experience, ain't we got fun Telling us of Fraud and waste, ain't we got fun The debt's unpaid, dear, and we haven't a bus While plans are made, dear, and they won't tell us In the winter in the Summer, The tariffs are goin up Times are bum and getting bummer, we won't have fun There's nothing surer - the news we get will just get poorer In the meantime, in the between time, We ain't got fun.

Frank, I love the irony here. Funny. Sometimes subtle, then the surprising bluntness ("suck it")

A very timely and topical song, and a great use of the challenge. Really nice job here.
