Lyrics
Good Times Roll
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Hour after hour in an ivory tower
A thousand and nothings to do
Spending the day in a colourful way
Blue upon blue upon blue
Psychadelicatessen
Fricasse chorus girls thigh
Toffee and mackeral gateau
Pineapple pie in the sky
See how the good times roll!
See how the good times roll!
See how the good times roll away!
See how the good times roll!
See how the good times roll!
See how the good times roll away!
Like ice in a drink, invisible ink
Or dreams in the cold light of day
The children of Rock N' Roll never grow old
They just fade away
Drifting along on a cottonwool cloud
Dreaming of drum majorettes
Swastika nightingales croon tongue in cheek
An elephant never forgets
See how the good times roll!
See how the good times roll!
See how the good times roll away!
See how the good times roll!
See how the good times roll!
See how the good times roll away!
