🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • 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

Echo the hook

  • 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 the rug, little jive and jitterbug
