[Verse 1]
Me and my buddies, we're gonna get drunk
We're gonna go out on the town
We'll be checking it out, slipping it in
And stepping out of line

[Verse 2]
You know everybody likes to get a little crazy
In their own particular way
But my buddies and I, we go over the top
And we're going over again today

[Chorus 1]
We'll be having a good time
Passing the byline
Having a good time
You know it's a rock and roll pastime

[Verse 3]
It might be typical, topical or maybe tropical
That doesn't mean anything
If you're political, practical
Then it's improbable that you'd do anything

[Verse 4]
But me and my buddies, we like to go crazy
We like to go over the hill
Hey, woman, will you be there
Because my buddies and I will
[Chorus 2]
Having a good time
Passing the byline
We'll be having a good time
It's a rock and roll pastime

[Solo]

Hey, Snowy, play a bit for me

[Solo]

[Bridge]
That was Snowy White
And he likes, er, it in the night
The next to play, I must say
Is Scott Gorham and away

[Solo]

[Chorus 1]
We'll be having a good time
Passing the byline
Having a good time
It's a rock and roll pastime
[Solo]

[Spoken]
Let's play that one more time
Hit me with that drum, Brian
Hit me as hard as you can
Oh yes, that's they way I like it
Do it again, do it again, let's do it again

[Outro]
Having a good time
Oh yes, I like this
Having a good time
Typical, topical, who cares?
Having a good time
Political, practical, impossible
Having a good time
Don't ask me why, Jack
Having a good time
Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho
Having a good time
Having a wild time
Having a good time
I'm slipping on the inside
Having a good time
That's fine
Having a good time
Drinking Beaujolais
No, that doesn't rhyme
Having a good time
I'm just talking from the top of my head
Having a good time
To the bottom of your soul
