Let the Good Times Roll
Celebrate Life: Let the Good Times Roll with Ray Charles
Lyrics
Hey everybody!
Addressing a group of people in an enthusiastic manner.
Let's have some fun
Suggesting the idea of having an enjoyable time.
You only live but once
Emphasizing the fleeting nature of life, encouraging living to the fullest.
And when you're dead you're done
Highlighting that once life ends, there's no more opportunity for enjoyment.
So let the good times roll,
Advocating for embracing and celebrating the positive aspects of life.
I said let the good times roll,
Reiterating the call to celebrate and have a good time.
I don't care if you're young or old,
Expressing indifference to age, suggesting everyone should join in the festivities.
You oughtta get together and let the good times roll-a
Encouraging people to come together and enjoy the good times.
Don't sit there mumbling
Advising against passive behavior, urging to actively participate.
Talkin' trash
Discouraging negative talk or complaints.
If you want to have a ball,
Encouraging taking action for enjoyment and having a good time.
You got to go out and spend some cash
Suggesting that spending money is necessary for a good time.
And let the good times roll now,
Repeating the call to let the good times roll, emphasizing action.
I'm talkin' 'bout the good times,
Specifically referring to positive experiences and moments.
Well it makes no difference whether you're young or old,
Stating that age is irrelevant when it comes to enjoying life.
All you got to do is get together and let the good times roll
Reiterating the message of coming together for a good time.
Hey y'all tell everybody! Ray Charles's in town,
Announcing the presence of Ray Charles and the intention to have a good time.
I got a dollar and a quarter and I'm just ringing the clock,
Expressing having a limited amount of money but still enjoying the moment.
But don't let no female, play me cheap,
Warning against being taken advantage of by a woman.
I got fifty cents more than I'm gonna keep.
Asserting having enough resources to enjoy oneself.
So let the good times roll now,
Repeating the call to let the good times roll, emphasizing immediacy.
I tell y'all I'm gonna let the good times roll now,
Reaffirming the intention to let the good times roll.
Well it don't make no difference if you're young or old,
Restating that age is not a barrier to having a good time.
All you got to do is get together and let the good times roll
Reiterating the message of coming together for a good time.
Hey no matter whether, rainy weather,
Highlighting that the weather or external factors shouldn't deter the celebration.
If you want to have a ball, you got to get yourself together,
Stating that to enjoy life, one needs to be in control and organized.
Oh, get yourself under control, woah, and let the good times roll.
Encouraging self-control and letting the good times roll despite challenges.
