Good Times
David Brown
We bought the pig in the poke
The flat that almost made us broke
Now it’s worth more than a boatload of coke
We snorted up the bottom line
We’re gonna make it through these good times
Wine, whiskey, gin and rum
In the supermarket - two for one
Keeps us wonderfully comfortably numb
Champagne o’clock is about to chime
We’re gonna make it through these good times
Good Times - Don’t give us a hard time
Good Times – It’s not like we’ve committed a crime
Good Times - We just happened to be standing in line
Good Times - At the right place at the right time
We got fat with celebrity cooks
Then bought up all the crash-diet books
But plastic surgery saved our looks
Traded expression for fewer lines
We’re gonna make it through these good times
We left the pew for the department store
Cheap clothes made by the poor
Bought everything but we just want more
God bless the consumer shrines
We’re gonna make it through these good times
We had to buy the second house in Spain
Easy to get there on the budget plane
English rain is such a boring pain
Sunshine upon the righteous shines
We’re gonna make it through these good times
