Ain't we got fun?
Definitely the song of the jazz age, the roaring 20's and now our 10's and 20's too I think. It's referenced in The Great Gatsby and George Orwell wrote about it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ain't_We_Got_Fun%3F
More recently, it was in the Ps3 game Bioshock Infinite. Yes, we talk about songs being used in games now. Mad huh? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gaKZKy9SJ1o
This is just my version, You cal get all the right chords on Musicnotes for about $1.95 too.

The rich get rich and the poor get children
Eb
In the meantime, In the between time
Bb7 Eb B+
Ain't we got fun.
Eb Fm Bb7
Just to make their trouble nearly double
Eb
Something happen'd last night
Bb7 Eb D7 Gm
To their chimney a gray bird came, Mister Stork is his name
D7 Gm
And I'll bet two pins, A pair of twins, Just happen'd in with the bird
0101 Bb Gm Cm G7 Cm F7 Bb B+
Still they're very gay and merry, Just at dawning I heard

To go to a play

Barbie Train
C G Am F Full chords on chordie.com or ukuleletabs.com
Just a small town girl, Living in a lonely world.
She took the midnight train going anywhere
My life is brilliant, my love is pure. I saw an angel, of this I'm sure.
I'm your biggest fan I follow you until you love me, papa-paparazzi
If I could, then I would. I'll go wherever you will go.
Forever young, I want to be Forever young
I can't live, with or without you.
She will be loved, she will be loved
MGMT Kids intro on Kazoo
I won't hesitate no more, no more, it cannot wait I'm yours.
Your lipstick stains, on the front lobe of my left side brains.
No woman no cry,
I come from a land down under
Country roads, take me home, to the place I belong,
And can you feel the love tonight?
I need some love like like I never needed love before, wanna make love to ya baby,
Take on me, take me on , I'll be gone in a day or two
When I find myself in times of trouble, mother Mary comes to me
Sometimes I feel like I don't have a partner.
I'm starting with the man in the mirror.
Whenever I fall, at your feet.
Nothing's right I'm torn. I'm all out of faith.
This is how I feel. I'm cold and I am shamed.
Lying naked on the floor.
Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated
It's too late to apologize, it's too late
Are you just going to stand there and watch me burn,
it's alright because I love the way it hurts
It's my life, it's now or never, I ain't gonna live forever
Can't read my, can't read my, no he can't read my poker face
Should auld acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot for the sake of old ang zine
(come on barbie) let's go party
