He's so the purity, a shaven and a mourning And standing on a pigeon toe, in his disarray Straight in the picture pose, he's coming around to meet you And screaming like a battle cry, it's more if I stay Me and you're cold, driving in the snow Let the good times roll, let the good times roll Cowgirl king of the rodeo, let the good times roll Let the good times roll How dare you come to me like with nail for a favor? Hold on not my fairy tale you're trying to start Take off your overcoat, you're staying for the weekend And swaying like a smokey gray, a drink in the park Me and you're cold, driving in the snow Let the good times roll, let the good times roll Cowgirl king of the rodeo, let the good times roll Let the good times roll, good time to roll on Good time to roll on Good time to roll on Good time to roll on
