Hey, ev ’ry bod y, let’s have some fun.

You on ly live but once, and when you’re (Eb7)dead you’re done.

Let the (Ab9)good times roll,

Don’t (Fm7)care if you’re young or (Bb7)old.

(Fm7)Get to geth er, let the (Bb9)good (Bb)times (Eb)roll.

Don’t sit there a mum blin’, and talk in’ trash.

If you wan na have a ball you got ta (Eb7)spend some cash.

Let the (Ab9)good times roll,

let the (Eb)good times roll.

Don’t (Fm7)care if you’re young or (Bb7)old.

(Fm7)Get to geth er, let the (Bb9)good (Bb)times (Eb)roll.

Hey, ev ’ry bod y, let’s have some fun.
