(R. Stewart / R. Wood)



Sitting on my back door wondering which way to go

The sun's shining on my back and it hurts (child)

The FM station plays another bad 45

And it's been so long since I had a good time

It's been so long since I had a good time



Never wrecked my head on a bandstand

in the trombone or clarinet line

When I come in heat on Bourbon Street for Mardi Gras

When those for a cryin' just stay behind in the bar

'Cause it's been so long since I had a good time

Yeah it's been so long since I had a good time



I'm gonna lose control of my powers

I might even lose my trousers

Smash some glass, act like trash if I want

Wear a skirt be a flirt if I want

'Cause it's been so long since I had a good time

This prodigal man from Dixieland needs a good time

right now, show me a good time right now



You better take it while you can

You gotta get it while you can



And when the Man Upstairs he calls me

He'll say "It's your turn son to come"

Don't play the blues down in old Toulouse for me

Let sleighbells ring and children sing in the street

And tell all of my friends that I had a good time

Open up the sky won't you ride me high

Let's have a good time

And if I'm late at heaven's gate blame a good time

And when the angels sing I will join in

Let's have a good time really



I took my luck, I didn't give a fuck, I had a good time

Tell all my friends only all my best to have a good time

Goodbye
