Lyrics: Earl King
Music: Earl King
Played by 7 Walkers. Not to be confused with the Sam Cooke song
Good Times, or with Let The Good Times Roll or Good Times Roll.
People see me but they just don't knowThe original Earl King lyrics are:
What's in my heart, and why I love you so
I love you, baby, like a miner loves gold
So, come on, baby, let the good times roll
(Let the good times roll) let the good times roll
(Let the good times roll) baby, let me see your soul
(Let the good times roll) let the good times roll
(Let the good times roll) come on, baby
Baby let the good times roll
Life is nice when it's understood
Even nicer when you're feelin' good
My love for you is the kind that grows
So, come on, baby, let the good times roll
(Let the good times roll) let the good times roll
(Let the good times roll) baby, let me see your soul
(Let the good times roll) let the good times roll
(Let the good times roll) come on, baby
Baby let the good times roll
Life is nice when it's understood
Even nicer when you're feelin' good
My love for you is no kind that grows
So, come on, baby, let the good times roll
(Let the good times roll) let the good times roll
(Let the good times roll) baby, let me see your soul
(Let the good times roll) let the good times roll
(Let the good times roll) come on, baby
Baby let the good times roll
So many people live in make believe
They got a lot of shit up their sleeves
My love for you is the kind that won't fold
So, come on, baby, let the good times roll
(Let the good times roll) let the good times roll
(Let the good times roll) baby, let me see your soul
(Let the good times roll) let the good times roll
(Let the good times roll) come on, baby
Baby let the good times roll
[etc]
[Part 1]
People see me but they just don't know
What's in my heart, and why I love you so
I love you, baby, like a miner loves gold
So, come on, baby, let the good times roll
Love is nice when it's understood
It's even nicer when you're feelin' good
You got me flippin' like flag on a pole
So, come on, baby, let the good times roll
Lot of people live in make believe
They keep a lot of dirt up their sleeves
My love for you isn't the kind that folds
So, come on, baby, let the good times roll
Come on and let the good times roll
Baby, let the good times roll
Well, well, well, well, baby
Baby let my love get cold
Don't you let my love get cold
Baby, let the good times roll
Come on and shake that thing
I'm gonna buy you a diamond ring
Well, well, well, well, baby
I'm gonna buy you a diamond ring
Baby, better shake that thing
Come on, and shake that thing
Turn your lamps down low
You know that I love you so
Turn your lamps down low
You know that, baby, I love you so
Turn your lamps down low
I said I love you so
