Good Times

Performed By: Chic

Written By: Bernard Edwards and Nile Rodgers
Album: Risqué (1979)

This song contains lines based on lyrics featured in 
"About a Quarter to Nine".
The lyrics are largely based on Milton Ager's
"Happy Days Are Here Again." 

 made famous by Al Jolson. 

Nile Rodgers has stated that these depression-era lyrics were used

 as a hidden way to comment on the then-current 

economic depression in the United States.

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

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

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

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

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
