Let The Good Times Roll
Zucchero & B.B. King Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey, everybody, let's have some fun
You only live once
And when you're dead you're done

Now let the good times roll,
Let the good times roll
I don't care if you're young or old
Let the good times roll

Don't sit there mumblin', talkin' trash
If you wanna have a ball
You gotta spend some cash
Let the good times roll
Let the good times roll
I don't care if you're young or old
Let's get together and let the good times roll

Hey Mr. Landlord, lock up all the doors
When the police comes around
Just tell 'em 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 together, let the good times roll

Hey everybody, tell everybody
B.b. And Zuc's in town
I got a dollar and a quarter
Just rarin' to clown
But don't let nobody play me cheap
I got fifty cents more that I'm gonna keep

So let the good times roll
Let the good times roll
I don't care if you're young or old
Get together and let the good times roll

Let the good times roll
Let the good times roll
Let the good times roll
Let the good times roll
Let the good times roll
Let the good times roll
Let the good times roll
Let's get together and let the good times roll

Let the good times roll
Let the good times roll
Let the good times roll
Spend some cash, let them roll

I don't care if you're young or old
Let the good times, let the good times roll
Let's do it again, let's do it again, let's do it again





One more time, one more time

Hey, everybody, let's have some fun
Life is short, let's enjoy it


You only live once
Life is fleeting


And when you're dead you're done
Death is final


Now let the good times roll,
Let's enjoy ourselves


Don't sit there mumblin', talkin' trash
Stop complaining and take action


If you wanna have a ball
If you want to have fun


You gotta spend some cash
You need to invest in having a good time


Hey Mr. Landlord, lock up all the doors
Let's party without any interruptions


When the police comes around
When authority figures try to stop the party

Lie to them to avoid getting in trouble


And let the good times roll
Resume the party and have fun


Hey everybody, tell everybody
Spread the word that the party is on


B.b. And Zuc's in town
Musical legends are present at the party


I got a dollar and a quarter
I have a little money to spend


Just rarin' to clown
Ready to act silly and have fun


But don't let nobody play me cheap
Don't let anyone take advantage of me


I got fifty cents more that I'm gonna keep
I'm saving some money for later


Let's do it again, let's do it again, let's do it again
Let's have another great time


One more time, one more time
One more round of fun
