Good times, these are the good times

美好时光，这就是美好时光

Leave your cares behind, these are the good times

抛开烦恼，享受美好时光

Good times, these are the good times

美好时光，这就是美好时光

Our new state of mind, these are the good times

全新的心境，美好时光正当时

Happy days are here again

快乐的日子再次降临

The time is right for makin' friends

正是交朋友的好时候

Let's get together, how 'bout a quarter to ten

让我们聚在一起，十点差一刻怎么样？

Come tomorrow, let's all do it again

明天再来，让我们重温旧梦

Boys will be boys, better let them have their toys

男孩天性如此，就让他们玩玩具吧

Girls will be girls, cute pony tails and curls

女孩天性如此，可爱的马尾辫和卷发

Must put an end to this stress and strife

I think I want to live the sporting life

我想过逍遥自在的生活

A rumor has it that it's getting late

有传言说时间不早了

Time marches on, just can't wait

时光飞逝，片刻也不能等待

The clock keeps turning, why hesitate

时钟不停转动，为何犹豫

You silly fool, you can't change your fate

Let's cut the rug, little jive and jitterbug

让我们跳起来，来点摇摆舞

We want the best, we won't settle for less

Don't be a drag, participate

别扫兴，参与进来

Clams on the half shell and roller skates, roller skates
