[Intro]
Let's have a real good time, yeah, yeah
Some people don't know what it means
To have a real, real good time
Say it son, see I remember long time ago, yeah
My mother told me, she said "Son, son
She said son, son, son, no matter where you go
Try to have yourself a real, real good time"
So I thought tonight would be a fine time
For you and I to get together
And clap your hand like this
One, two, three, four

[Chorus]
We're gonna have a good time
We're gonna have a good time
Hey, let's have a good time one time
Hey, let's have a good time, c'mon

[Verse 1]
We gonna laugh and shout, trouble's over
All of our dreams will be comin' up in clover
We gonna sing with the heavenly choir
Say hello, never say bye bye

[Chorus]
We'll have a good time
Lord, let's have a good time
We'll have a real good time
Let's have a good time
Lord, let's have a good time
