I worked hard every day
But I lost my job in May
Since then I live for the booze
I left school at sixteen
To a world that's so mean
Every day is a fight to survive
But tonight I've got my suit
And my lady's so, so cute
She's so fine I'm gonna sing it to you
Laissez les bons temps rouler
Let the good times roll
Laissez les bons temps rouler
Let the good times roll
ย
Well, my mother died young
And my dad lost a lung
Smoking sixty cigarettes a day
And he gave me what he could
And he told me that I should
Do unto others as you'd have them do to you
But tonight I'm laughing
With whiskey and dancing
All my friends make me feel so warm inside
Laissez les bons temps rouler
Let the good times roll
Laissez les bons temps rouler
Let the good times roll
ย
I got a brother inside
And my sister gets so high
She spends her money chasing her true love
It's a scary old world
But as long as I got my girl
She can hold me so sweet and so warm
Oh, tonight I kiss her
But, oh, how I miss her
When she ain't right by my side
Laissez les bons temps rouler
Let the good times roll
Laissez les bons temps rouler
Let the good times roll
