Lyrics

GOOD TIMES

Original Sam Cooke version

Woah la la ta da, woah la ta da, la la la all night long, yeah
La la la la ta da, la la la ta ta ta da, la la la all night long, yeah

Come on and let the good times roll
We're gonna stay here till we soothe our souls
If it take all night long
One more time
Come on and let the good times roll
We're gonna stay here till we soothe our souls
If it take all night long

Gotta tell you, evening sun is sinking low
The clock on the wall say it's time to go
I got my plans, I don't know about you
I'll tell you exactly what I'm gonna do

Get in the groove and let the good times roll
I'm gonna stay here till I soothe my soul
If it take all night long
Yeah, everybody let the good times roll
We're gonna stay here till we soothe our souls
If it take all night long

Yeah, it might be one o'clock and it might be three
Time don't mean that much to me
I've felt this good since I don't know when
And I might not feel this good again

So come on and let the good times roll
We're gonna stay here till we soothe our souls
If it take all night long
And all night (all night), and all night (all night)
And all night (all night), all night long (all night)
Somebody said it might take (all night) all night long (all night)
And all night (all night), and all night (all night)
So come on and let the good times roll
We're gonna stay here till we soothe our souls
If it take all night long
