Good Times
Whiskey, Ice Cream, and Good Times: Reveling in Life's Sweet Moments
Lyrics
Pick up a pizza, pineapple ham
Picking up a pizza with pineapple and ham for a gathering
And put it in the back of a Good Times van
Putting the pizza in the back of a van associated with good times
Well, go out and pick up the rest of the band
Picking up the rest of the band for the event
We're gonna have a good time
Anticipation of having a good time at the event
Yeah Lilly of the valley, Lilly on a rug
Reference to Lilly of the valley, possibly a person or a flower
Lilly drove here in a V W bug
Lilly arriving in a VW Bug
Am I on the guest list, give her a shrug
Uncertainty about being on the guest list
We're gonna have a good time
Expectation of having a good time despite uncertainties
Yeah, we gonna be like an ice cream cone
Comparison to an ice cream cone, implying the need to enjoy the moment
Better eat it quick gonna be long gone
Emphasis on enjoying the present as it won't last
By me a whiskey, get yourself stoned
Desire for whiskey and a carefree, stoned state
We're gonna have a good time
Reiteration of the expectation of having a good time
Well, sit on a table, sit on the floor
Suggestive lines about sitting and acting in a playful manner
Act like a virgin, act like you're sore
Reference to acting like a virgin or pretending to be sore
Winner or loser they're both too fine
Indifferent attitude toward winning or losing
We're gonna have a good time
Emphasis on having a good time regardless of outcomes
When we see you in Atlanta or Abilene
Mention of different places and encountering attractive girls
The prettiest girls that I've ever seen
Appreciation of the beauty of girls in Atlanta or Abilene
Be sweet as honey girl don't be mean
Encouragement for a sweet and non-mean attitude
We're gonna have a good time
Reiteration of the expectation of having a good time
Yeah, we gonna be like an ice cream cone
Repetition of the ice cream cone metaphor
Better eat it quick gonna be long gone
Reminder to enjoy life quickly as it is fleeting
Buy me a whiskey, get yourself stoned
Desire for whiskey and a carefree, stoned state
We're gonna have a good time
Reiteration of the expectation of having a good time
Well, a lot of people talk can shut the hell up
Disregard for people who talk negatively
Sneak out a beer in a styrofoam cup
Sneaking beer in a styrofoam cup to enjoy the moment
I'm gonna start singing so don't interrupt
Asserting the singer's intention to sing without interruption
We're gonna have a good time
Reiteration of the expectation of having a good time
Well, live in the country, live in the town
Comparison of living in the country or town, suggesting a carefree attitude
Come out tonight gonna burn them all down
Expressing the intent to enjoy the night to the fullest
Don't let the bastards get yourself down
Encouragement not to let negativity affect one's mood
We're gonna have a good time
Reiteration of the expectation of having a good time
Yeah, we gonna be like an ice cream cone
Repetition of the ice cream cone metaphor
Better eat it quick gonna be long gone
Reminder to savor the moment as it won't last
Buy me a whiskey get yourself stoned
Desire for whiskey and a carefree, stoned state
We're gonna have a good time
Final affirmation of the expectation of having a good time
I said, buy me a whiskey, get yourself stoned
Specific request for whiskey and setting the tone for a good time
We're gonna have a good time, yeah
Reiteration of the anticipation of having a good time
