Sometimes it's more comfortable to be sad
That is why I like this song
Mmm
Come on baby
Let the good times roll
Come on baby
Mmm
Came on baby
Let the good times roll.
Roll on and on
Come on baby
Let me hold you tight
Tell me everything is right tonight
Come on baby

Roll on and on
I feel so good
Mmm
In your arms
Sugar baby
You are my good luck charms
Come on baby

Come on baby
Let me thrill your soul
Come on, come on, baby

Roll on and on
Come on baby while the thrill is on
Come on baby let us have some fun
Come on baby

Roll on and on
Come on baby let's close the door

Come on baby
Let the good times roll
Roll on and on
You know I, you know I feel so good
And I'll let you hold
Come on baby
Rock me all night long
Come on baby
Let the good times roll
Come on baby
Let it thrill your soul
Come on baby
Let the good times roll
Roll on and on
Come on baby
The song Let The Good Times Roll by Barbra Streisand is an upbeat and joyful tune that expresses the singer’s desire to forget all the troubles, worries and negative circumstances in life and just enjoy the moment. The opening lines of the song, “It’s not easy to be happy, sometimes it’s more comfortable to be sad, that is why I like this song, mmm” highlights the complexity of happiness and how often it can be challenging to attain, making it easier to succumb to sadness. However, Streisand goes on to encourage her listeners to let their hair down and enjoy the good times, even if just for a little while.
Throughout the song, Streisand encourages her lover to let loose and have fun with her by their sides. They sing, “Come on baby, let me thrill your soul. Roll on and on, come on baby. Let me hold you tight, tell me everything is right tonight” - these words showcase the singer’s eagerness to take her partner’s mind off their worries and just focus on the joy of the moment. They also sing, “Come on baby, while the thrill is on. Come on baby, let us have some fun. Come on baby, let the good times roll.” These lyrics suggest the importance of seizing the moment as these good times are fleeting and should be savoured while they last.
In conclusion, the song Let The Good Times Roll by Barbra Streisand implores us to not take life too seriously by focusing mostly on the negative experiences we encounter. Instead, it advocates for taking life one day at a time, and when the opportunity arises, make the best of the good times and enjoy them to the fullest.

Dang, I wish I could sing like that. So smooth. So sweet.... I love her style.
Snarky Enigma
LOVE the electric guitar. The entire album with Grandmas Hands, Guava Jelly etc; has a sort of reggae feel to it. One of Barbra's best (of many) 70's albums.
Christopher Liddell
The BEST version of this song. Love it!

@tearmann Agree that her attempt at 'funky' (including "Star is Born") really do not do her justice (nor does she, it). But her "Classical" is one of my favorites or hers, if for no other reason that the instrumentals are calmer, quieter (no rythmns) and therefore the instrument of her Voice can be fully appreciated.

I think she could have done a good job on a song like "Call ME" or even "Aint No Way"
