Have a Good Time Songtext

von Paul Simon

Yesterday it was my birthday,
I hung one more year on the line.
I should be depressed,
My life's a mess,
But I'm having a good time.

Oo, I've been loving and loving and loving,
I'm exhausted from loving so well,
I should go to bed,
But a voice in my head says
"Aw, what the hell!"

Have a good time,
Have a good time,
Have a good time,
Have a good time.

Paranoia strikes deep in the heartland,
But I think it's all over done,
Exaggerating this,
Exaggerating that,
They don't have no fun.

I don't believe what I read in the papers,
They're just out to capture my dime.
I ain't worrying,
And I ain't scurrying,
I'm having a good time.

Have a good time,
Have a good time,
Have a good time,
Have a good time.

Maybe I'm laughing my way to disaster,
Maybe my race has been run,
Maybe I'm blind
To the fate of mankind,
But what can be done?

So God bless the goods we was given,
And God bless the U.S. of A,
And God bless our standard of living,
Let's keep it that way.

And we'll all have a good time,
Have a good time,
Have a good time,
Have a good time,
Have a good time.
