Good Times
Jodie Connor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't you worry
'Cause I'm gonna have a real good time
We're gonna have a real good time
I'm gonna leave the world outside
Spend my money
We're gonna have a real good night
Let's go late night shopping
High street bopping
Let's go West End clubbing
Champagne popping
Let's keep it rocking
Party ain't stopping
Let's keep it, keep it rocking
Party ain't stopping
Nine to five (oh oh)
When it's over I can come alive (oh oh)
I'm in the mood to live a higher life (oh oh)
Now when the DJ drops the subli-mine
I'll be satisfied
I'm gonna leave the day behind
Don't you worry
'Cause I'm gonna have a real good time
We're gonna have a real good time
I'm gonna leave the world outside
Spend my money
'Cause it's gonna be a real good night
We're gonna have a real good night
The song Good Times by Jodie Connor is an uplifting and feel-good anthem about leaving the stresses of everyday life behind and enjoying the moment. The lyrics begin with Jodie declaring her intention to leave the day behind and not to worry, because she is going to have a real good time. She then repeats the phrase "We're gonna have a real good time," emphasizing the importance of being surrounded by good company as well as engaging in fun activities. The chorus reinforces her desire to escape the world outside and let loose - she intends to spend her money and enjoy a real good night out.
The second verse highlights the specifics of what Jodie and her friends have planned for the evening. They will go "late night shopping" and "high street bopping," before hitting up the "West End clubbing" scene and popping champagne. She wants to keep the party going and suggests that it won't stop until they all decide to call it a night. The bridge section of the song features Jodie alluding to her mundane nine-to-five job and stressing that she is "in the mood to live a higher life." She expresses satisfaction with the music when the DJ drops the subliminal beats, and this leads to the final chorus, repeating the message of the rest of the song.
Overall, the song Good Times is a catchy and upbeat track that encourages listeners to throw their cares to the wind and have a great time with their friends. It emphasizes the importance of living in the moment and enjoying life to the fullest.

[3rd Rap:]
Flash dirty cash, I'm splashing out and share wiv the fam and give the whole ration out.
Keep the level up while the rest are freshing out, anybody gassing and I'm lashing out standard.
Just started, party ain't over, we can't beat that everybody's still sober, call all the freeloaders over tell them to have a bottle and a glass on me.
[4th Rap:]
The night ain't done; the night's still young
It's just started it's just begun, the night ain't over it's only 1.

Celebrate every day like a b'day, the party don't stop unless we say, I'm in the mic like if I was the DJ, you only get one life no replay!
