Can any vintage music lovers out there help me with a song title which I think was around in the 60's or early 70's. I only remember a few words of the chorus which I think were ' come on baby let the good times roll' I know there is a similar song title from the group 'Sheep on Drugs' but the one I am thinking of is nothing like.

Speaking of Sheep - The Animals did a version with the lyrics:-

Come on baby, let the good times roll
Come on baby, let me thrill your soul
Come on baby, let the good times roll, roll all night long

Oh baby, feel so good when you're home
Come on baby, rock me all night long

Come on baby, let's close the door
Come on baby, let's rock some more
Come on baby, let the good times roll, roll all night long

Come on baby, let's close the door
Come on honey, let's rock some more
Come on baby, let the good times roll, roll all night long

Oh baby, feel so good when you're home
Come on baby, rock me all night long

Come on baby, let the good times roll
Come on baby, let me thrill your soul
Come on baby, let the good times roll, roll all night long


The Animals did a song called let the good times roll I think and they were about 1960's I'm fairly sure. But I don't know if it's their song originally. Just know my dad has that version.

Hendrix has a song called something similar too. The let the good times roll bit is in brackets.

I'm pretty sure if it's the version by The Animals then this song has been covered a few times.



Written by the late, great clown prince of jazz, Louis Jordan, and covered by many, most notably the great (but happily not late) BB King.

Shirley &Lee
Sonny & Cher
Quite a few people made a version.
Roy Orbison did a great version
In late summer of 1956 the song with which Shirley & Lee are most often associated entered the charts. Let The Good Times Roll was a big hit at teenage parties everywhere. Some DJ's refused to play it, claiming that it had suggestive lyrics. The song crossed over to the pop charts, where it reached as high as number twenty

Thank you to all who replied. I will check out all your answers and hopefully will find what I am looking for to enable me to purchase a recording of the song.
If it helps the Shirley & Lee version is on the Stand By Me soundtrack
