[Hook]
Good times
These are the good times
Leave your cares behind
These are the good times
Good times
These are the good times
Our new state of mind
These are the good times
[Verse 1]
Happy days are here again
The time is right for makin' friends
Let's get together, how 'bout a quarter to ten?
Come tomorrow, let's all do it again
Boys will be boys, better let them have their toys
Girls will be girls, cute pony tails and curls
Must put an end, to this stress and strife
I think I want to live the sporting life
[Hook]
Good times
These are the good times
Leave your cares behind
These are the good times
[Verse 2]
A rumor has it that it's getting late
Time marches on, just can't wait
The clock keeps turning, why hesitate?
You silly fool; you can't change your fate
Let's cut a rug, a little jive and jitterbug
We want the best, we won't settle for less
Don't be a drag; participate
Clams on the half shell, and roller-skates, roller-skates
[Hook]
Good times
These are the good times
Leave your cares behind
These are the good times
[Rapper's Delight Interpolation]
I said a hip hop the hippie the hippie
To the hip hip hop and you don't stop
The rock it to the bang bang boogie
Say up jump the boogie to the rhythm of the boogie, the beat
Now, what you hear is not a test, I'm rapping to the beat
And me, the groove, and my friends are gonna try to move your feet
See we are CHIC, C-H-I-C and we'd like to say "hello"
To the black, to the white, the red and the brown, the purple and yellow
But first, I gotta bang bang the boogie to the boogie
Say up jump the boogie to the bang bang boogie
Let's rock, you don't stop
Rock the rhythm that'll make your body rock
We go: Hotel, motel, whatcha gonna do today (say what?)
Cause I'ma get a fly girl, gonna get some spank and drive off in a def OJ
Everybody go: Hotel, motel, Holiday Inn
You see, if your girl starts acting up, then you take her friend
Just throw your hands up in the air
And party hardy like you just don't care
Let's do it, uh, don't stop y'all, uh, tick a tock y'all you don't stop
[Verse 2]
A rumor has it that it's getting late
Time marches on, just can't wait
The clock keeps turning, why hesitate?
You silly fool; you can't change your fate
Let's cut a rug, a little jive and jitterbug
We want the best, we won't settle for less
Don't be a drag; participate
Clams on the half shell, and roller-skates, roller-skates
[Hook]
Good times
These are the good times
Leave your cares behind
These are the good times
