We Ain’t Never Had It So Good

“WE AIN’T NEVER HAD IT SO GOOD”
Lyrics by Larry Rossler
Music by Peter Link

TOM ONCE WE HAD TO SETTLE FOR CRUMBS

FRANK
Those days are done.

TOM NOW WE GOT THE PICK OF THE PLUMS

IKE
Why is that?

TOM WITH MR. RUGGLES UNDER OUR THUMBS

IKE
God bless him.

TOM
WE AIN’T NEVER HAD IT
NO WE AIN’T NEVER HAD IT SO GOOD

FRANK
We’re sitting pretty now.

IKE
Fat as a contented cow.

TOM
Sounds good, don’t it Billy Boy?

BILLY
I guess.

TOM
MADE THE DEAL AND LOCKED IT UP TIGHT

IKE
Tight as a drum.

TOM AIN’T NO COMPETITION IN SIGHT

FRANK
None that I see!

TOM
THE FUTURE’S LOOKING ROSY AND BRIGHT

IKE
It’s a new day!

TOM
HAVE WE EVERY HAD IT
SAY, HAVE WE EVER HAD IT SO GOOD?

FRANK, TOM, & BILLY IKE
WE AIN’T NEVER HAD IT SO GOOD OH NO
NO WE AIN’T NEVER HAD IT SO GOOD WE NEVER HAD IT COUNT YOUR LUCKY STARS AND NOW
AND KNOCK ON WOOD WE’RE GONNA GET IT

FRANK, TOM, BILLY & IKE WE AIN’T NEVER HAD IT SO GOOD

IKE
We owe it all to Frank.

TOM
Our chief negotiator.

FRANK
Was nothing at all.

TOM PUT IT THERE MY OLD BICKAROO

IKE
PUT IT RIGHT THERE

TOM GIVE A CHEER AND SING HALLELU

HALLEUJAH BROTHER!

TOM
THE GRAVY TRAIN HAS FINALLY COME THROUGH

IKE
LOOK THE TRAIN’S A-COMIN’!

TOM
HAVE WE EVER HAD IT
SAY, HAVE WE EVER HAD IT SO GOOD?

FRANK, TOM, BILLY IKE WE AIN’T NEVER HAD IT SO GOOD OH, NO
WE AIN’T NEVER HAD IT SO GOOD WE NEVER HAD IT
COUNT YOUR LUCKY STARS AND NOW
AND KNOCK ON WOOD WE’RE GONNA GET IT

FRANK, TOM, BILLY, IKE
WE AIN’T NEVER HAD IT BUT, GLORY BE, WE GOT IT
WE AIN’T NEVER HAD IT SO GOOD!
