Louis Jordan and His Tympany Five

Let the Good Times Roll

Hey, everybody, let's have some fun

You only live but once

And when you're dead, you're done

So let the good times roll

Let the good times roll

Don't care if you're young or old

Get together, let the good times roll

Don't sit there mumblin' and talkin' trash

If you wanna have a ball

You gotta go out and spend some cash

Let the good times roll

Let the good times roll

Don't care if you're young or old

Get together, let the good times roll

Hey Mister Landlord, lock up all the doors

When the police come around

Tell them that the joint is closed

Let the good times roll

Let the good times roll

Don't care if you're young or old

Go out and let the good times roll

Hey y'all, tell everybody

Mr. Jobs is in town

I got a dollar and a quarter

And I'm just rarin' the clown

But don't let nobody play me cheap

I got 50 cents more that I'm gonna keep

So let the good time roll

Let the good times roll

Don't care if you're young or old

Get together and let the good times roll

Yeah, no matter weather

This rainy weather

Birds of a feather gotta stick together

So get yourself under control

Go out and get together and let the good times roll
