Life is like a hurricane

It brings the wind, it brings the rain

Mud and bone and tangled vine

Pick the grape and drink the wine



Laissez le bon temps, bon temps roule

Breathing in and out another day

Laissez le bon temps, bon temps roule

It's good to be alive



Roll in the clover bare your feet

Bees will sting but honey's sweet

Chickens run but angels fly

'Cause God is holding up the sky



Laissez le bon temps, bon temps roule

Breathing in and out another day

Laissez le bon temps, bon temps roule

It's good to be alive



Shiny hearses long and black

Don't come with a luggage rack

You can't take it when you go

So let the good, the good times roll



Laissez le bon temps, bon temps roule

Breathing in and out another day

Laissez le bon temps, bon temps roule

Je suis Vivant, Vivant



Shiny hearses long and black

Don't come with a luggage rack

You can't take it when you go

So let the good, the good times roll



Laissez le bon temps, bon temps roule

Breathing in and out another day

Laissez le bon temps, bon temps roule

It's good to be alive



Let the good times roll

Let the good times roll
