Have A Good Time
RÜFÜS Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Have a good time, yeah
Have a good time, yeah
Have a good time, yeah
Have a good time, yeah

Who said this party's over?
When I feel like my fun has just begun
Together we will raise this roof and party
And have a good time, yeah
Have a good time, oh yeah
All we need is some funky music
So we can play the part and get way down
Into some rhythm we can groove to
Have a good time, yeah
Have a good time, yeah

Chorus

Who said this party's over?
I feel like my fun has just begun
Together we will raise this roof and party
And have a good time
Have a good time, yeah
All we need is some funky music, yeah
So we can play the part and get way down
Into some rhythm we can groove to
Everybody have a good time
