Good Times
Chic & Nile Rodgers Lyrics

Ah freak out
Expressing excitement and enthusiasm about what is happening

Have you heard about the new dance craze
Asking if the listener is aware of the latest popular dance going around

Listen to us, I'm sure you'll be amazed
Encouraging the listener to pay attention because what's about to be said is impressive

It's called Le Freak
Naming the new dance craze

They're doing it night and day
Explaining that people are dancing to Le Freak at all hours

Allow us, we'll show you the way
Offering to teach the listener how to do the dance

Everybody dance, do do do
Urging everyone to start dancing

Clap your hands, clap your hands
Instructing listeners to clap their hands to the beat

Good times, these are the good times
Celebrating that this is a moment of high spirits and good vibes

Leave your cares behind, these are the good times
Encouraging listeners to forget their worries and enjoy themselves

Our new state of mind, these are the good times
Describing the upbeat energy and positivity as a new way of thinking

Do you feel like you ever want
Asking the listener if they have ever felt a strong desire

To try my love and see how well it fits
Inviting the listener to explore a physical connection and see if they're compatible

Baby can't you see, when you look at me
Suggesting that the singer's love is apparent and visible through their eyes

I can't kick this feelin' when it hits
Expressing how intense and persistent the singer's romantic feelings are

All alone in my bed at night
Describing a situation of being by oneself in bed

I grab my pillow and squeeze it tight
Illustrating the physical expression of longing and desire

I think of you and I dream of you all the time
Admitting that the object of the singer's affection occupies their thoughts frequently

What am I gonna do
Expressing uncertainty about how to proceed with these emotions

I want your love, I want your love
Expressing strong desire for the person's love and affection

Le freak, c'est chic
Suggesting that freaking out is fashionable and cool

All that pressure got you down
Recognizing that stress and difficulty can be oppressive

Has your head spinning all around
Describing how the listener may feel disoriented and overwhelmed

Feel the rhythm, check the ride
Advice to get in tune with the music and follow the lead

Come on along and have a real good time
Inviting the listener to join in the celebration and enjoy themselves

Like the days of stomping at the Savoy
Evoking a nostalgic reference to a popular dance club in the past

Now we freak, oh what a joy
Describing how dancing and letting loose brings great pleasure and happiness

Just come on down, two fifty four
Providing specific directions for where to go to dance

Find a spot out on the floor
Encouraging listeners to get in the groove and dance like no one is watching
