Lyrics

Damn Good Times

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.

I'm not much of a natural dancer

But I've got a friend who's a natural dancer

You could call her a jumpin' bean

She's got ants in her pants and she's gonna dance

I know a girl who's a jumpin' bean

She's got keys and a token when she hits the scene

Yeah I know a girl who's got a record machine

She acts like David Lee Roth when he turned 21

I know a girl who's a natural dancer

With a cape and a hat she's a natural dancer

She coughs and she laughs and she makes a lot of calls

And all of the people applaud

As she leaves the store

As she leaves the store (damn good times)

All of the people applaud (damn good times) As she leaves the store

As she leaves the store (damn good times)

All of the people applaud (damn good times)

Can she do the karaoke? Yes she can, but she won't

'Cause she's highly qualified and she's not a joke

When it comes to opera, she is ossified

So all of you operas better step aside

When my friend got amnesia

She can't remember the show she saw

Like the one with the guy with amnesia

Who got off from the island on a helicopter

I know a girl who's a natural dancer

With a cape and a hat she's a natural dancer

She coughs and she laughs and she makes a lot of calls

And all of the people applaud

As she leaves the store

As she leaves the store (damn good times)

All of the people applaud (damn good times)

As she leaves the store

As she leaves the store (damn good times)

All of the people applaud. (damn good times)
