Let The Good Times Roll
Rhythm And Blues Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You only live but once
And when you're dead you're done
So let the good times roll
Let the good times roll
I don't care if you're young or old
Get together, let the good times roll
Don't sit there mumblin', talkin' trash
If you wanna have some fun
You gotta spend some cash
So let the good times roll
Let the good times roll
I don't care if you're young or old
Go out and get together, let the good times roll
Don't sit there mumblin', talkin' trash
If you wanna have a ball
You better spend some cash
So let the good times roll
Let the good times roll
Yeah, I don't care if you're young or old
Go out and get together, let the good times roll
Hey Mister Landlord, lock up all the doors
When the police comes around
Just tell them that the joint is closed
And let the good times roll
Let the good times roll
I don't care if you're young or old
Get up and get together and let the good times roll
Hey everybody, tell everybody
That B.B. and Bob is in town
I got a dollar and a quarter
And I'm just rarin' theclown
But don't let nobody play me cheap
I got fifty cents more that I'm gonna keep
I don't care if you're young or old
Let's get together and let the good times roll
Let them roll, let them roll
Let them roll, let them roll, let them roll, baby
Let them roll all night long, let them roll all night long, let them roll all night long
Let them roll all night long
Let them roll, let them roll
Let them roll, let them roll all night long
Let them, can I hear it one more time, everybody
Let them roll, let them roll all night long
Let them roll all night long, let them roll all night long
Oh shit
Oh shit

Hey, everybody, let's have some fun
Come on everyone, let's enjoy ourselves

And when you're dead you're done
Death is final, so make the most of life
So let the good times roll
Let's have a great time
I don't care if you're young or old
Age is not a barrier to fun
Get together, let the good times roll

Don't sit there mumblin', talkin' trash
Don't be negative or unenthusiastic
If you wanna have some fun
To enjoy yourself
You gotta spend some cash

Hey Mister Landlord, lock up all the doors
Secure the premises, avoiding legal trouble
When the police comes around
If the authorities check the location
Just tell them that the joint is closed
Report that the establishment is shut
Hey everybody, tell everybody
Let everyone know
That B.B. and Bob is in town
Advertise that famous musicians have arrived
I got a dollar and a quarter
I have some money to spend
And I'm just rarin' theclown
And I'm ready to have a good time
But don't let nobody play me cheap
But don't try to take advantage of me
I got fifty cents more that I'm gonna keep
I have more money that I am saving
Let them roll, let them roll
Let's keep enjoying ourselves
Let them roll, let them roll, let them roll, baby
Keep the good times coming
