LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL
Fleecie Moore / Sam Theard  1945

Louis Jordan & his Tympany Five  rec 1945


Hey everybody, let's have some fun,
You only live 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 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 young or old,
Get together, let the good times roll!

Hey Mister Landlord, lock up all the doors,
When the police comes around, tell them the joint is closed!

Let the good times roll,
Let the good times roll,
Don't care if you young or old,
Go out and let the good times roll!

Hey y'all, tell everybody Mister Jordan's in town,
I got a dollar and a quarter and I'm just ready to clown!
But don't let nobody play me cheap,
I got fifty cents more than I'm gonna keep!

So let the good times roll,
Let the good times roll,
Don't care if you young or old,
Get together, let the good times roll!

Yeah, no matter whether
It's 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!
