Let The Good Times Roll
Zucchero with B.B. King 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
The lyrics of Let The Good Times Roll by B.B. King with Zucchero are all about enjoying life and celebrating the moments we have. The song encourages listeners to let loose and have a good time with friends, regardless of age or other factors that might hold them back. King's lyrics express the importance of living in the moment and enjoying life while it lasts, as "you only live but once, and when you're dead you're done".
King urges listeners to get up and dance, saying that you have to "spend some cash" if you want to have some fun. The song is an invitation to go out and enjoy time with friends, regardless of financial constraints. King also warns against being negative or talking trash, as that mindset can hold you back from having a good time. The song seems to be about seizing the moment and living life to the fullest.
The final verse seems to reference the idea of a speakeasy or a party where the police might show up. King tells the "Mister Landlord" to lock up the doors and pretend the establishment is closed when the police come around. It's possible that this verse is simply about partying late into the night, but it could also be interpreted as a nod to the rebellious spirit of the 1920s during Prohibition.
