Song Details
"Ain't We Got Fun?" is a popular foxtrot published in 1921 with music by Richard A. Whiting, lyrics by Raymond B. Egan and Gus Kahn.
It was first performed in 1920 in the revue Satires of 1920, then moved into vaudeville and recordings. "Ain't We Got Fun?" and its jaunty response to poverty and its promise of fun ("Every morning / Every evening", and "In the meantime, / In between time") have become symbolic of the Roaring Twenties, and it appears in some of the major literature of the decade, including The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald and in Dorothy Parker's award-winning short story of 1929, "Big Blonde". The song also contains the line "The rich get richer and the poor get poorer"; though this phrase predates the song, its use increased with the song's popularity.

Duration: 03:38
Bill collectors gather
'Round and rather
Haunt the cottage next door
Men the grocer and butcher sent
Men who call for the rent
But with in a happy chappy
And his bride of only a year
Seem to be so cheerful
Here's an earful
Of the chatter you hear
Every morning
Every 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
But smiles were made dear
For people like us
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 children
In the meantime
In the 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
Mister 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
Every morning
Every evening
Don't we have 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 so 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.

"The Confession" Best Quotes
Dr. Chase: Tired of surfing.
Dr. Foreman: He hasn't changed.
Dr. Chase: And neither has the job, right? You still get to do crazy crap.
Dr. Taub: Save people's lives instead of just their noses.
(to Chase)
Dr. House: Beard's a nice touch. Let's everyone know that you're not a teenage girl.
Dr. House: These abrasions on his knees--they're minty fresh. About ten hours old.
Dr. Park: He got them playing flag football.
Dr. House: He said he got them playing flag football. I'm sure that's true if "flag" is a euphemism for "penis" and "football" is a euphemism for "entering a vagina."
Dr. Chase: What he means it's better to do it her where we can revive him then have it happen somewhere else.
Dr. House: The prodigal son has returned. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go slaughter a fatted calf for lunch.
(about Park's diagnosis)
Dr. House: Boring.
Dr. Park: I'm sorry. I thought I was here to treat the patients, not entertain you.
Dr. House: Would it hurt to do both?
Dr. Park: He couldn't get a babysitter. Get over it.
Dr. Taub: You're going to get us killed.
Dr. Park: She thinks I'm a prostitute on her turf. Showing weakness is what gets you killed.
Dr. Taub: Why would she think you're a prostitute?
Dr. Park: I'm in a dump with a guy almost twice my age. What else is she gonna think?
Dr. Taub: How old do you think I am?
Dr. Taub: An entire hospital betting on the legitimacy of my kids? It's great to be back among friends.
Dr. House: That's why we're going to blast him with broad-spectrum antibiotics.
Dr. Adams: The blast will fry what's left of his liver. The cure will kill him.
Dr. Chase: Not if we get him with a liver transplant first and then treat him with a broad spectrum.
Dr. House: And old team for the win! Not that I'm keeping score. It's more of a grid where I assign numerical values to determine who gets raises, vacation time, and my respect.
Dr. Adams: Maybe if everybody didn't lie...
Dr. House: Aw, that is cute. I'm talking about your breasts. They always get perky when you're being painfully earnest. Truth. It's uncomfortable, isn't it? More truth--I only noticed because Chase was staring at them. He'd never admit it, because he doesn't want to offend you. Same reason he's never tell you that he's thought about having sex with you. Although to be fair, every man you've ever met has thought about having sex with you. They'll lie, because if you knew... you probably wouldn't want to have sex with them. And that's just some of the lies from the last minute. And here's a bigger one--you already know this, but you pretend you don't because it makes you feel civilized. Most people find it easier to ignore the truth.
