Let The Good Times Roll
Sam Butera and The Witnesses Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey, hey everybody, let's have some fun!
You only live once, but when did you're done,
so let the good times roll.
Let the good times roll,
don't care whether you are young or old, I let the good times roll.
Don't sit there mumblin' and talking trash,
if you wanna have some fun,
you've got to spend some cash,
so let the good times roll, let the good times roll,
don't care, whether you are young or old,
I let the good times roll
. Hey, hey mister landlord, lock over doors, when the cops come around, tell them that Jones been close,
so let the good times roll, let the good times roll, don't care whether you're young or old, I let the good times roll.




Hey, hey everybody, Little Sam's in town, got a dollar and a quarter and I'm rarin't to clown, but don't let nobody play me cheap, I got have fifty cents more that i'm gonna keep,
so let the good times roll, let the good times roll, I don't care whether you're young or old, I let the good times roll. It makes no difference if it's rainy weather, birds of a feather must stay together, so c'mon I'll be swinggers and let the good times roll.

Birds of a feather must stay together
So come on all your swingers
And let the good times roll
