[Intro] Come on in, find a chair Good times waiting everywhere [Verse 1] Miss Lottie keeps the door on time Red beans steaming, glasses shine Trombone grins across the room And old Mr. June makes the whole place move You came in saying, “Just one song” Now your feet have been here all night long [Chorus] Get while the gettin’ is good Take that little bit of joy while you could Raise your glass, let the good times roll Let that brass put a spark in your soul Get while the gettin’ is good Right here together like a good crowd should When the night says, “Stay awhile,” you know you would Get while the gettin’ is good [Verse 2] That piano’s got a story to tell The bass walks easy, the snare rings well Your cousin’s laughing by the bandstand light Auntie’s keeping time just right Don’t save your smile for another day There’s room at this table—come on, make your way [Chorus] Get while the gettin’ is good Take that little bit of joy while you could Raise your glass, let the good times roll Let that brass put a spark in your soul Get while the gettin’ is good Right here together like a good crowd should When the night says, “Stay awhile,” you know you would Get while the gettin’ is good [Scat Break] Ba-doo, ba-da, doo-wah, hey now Shoo-bee, shooba, let it swing now Da-ba-dap, ba-da, mm-hmm [Bridge] No fancy promise, no grand parade Just good folks and the songs we made A little room, a little time A table full of friends feels fine [Final Chorus] Get while the gettin’ is good Take that little bit of joy while you could Raise your glass, let the good times roll Let that brass put a spark in your soul Get while the gettin’ is good Right here together like a good crowd should When the night says, “Stay awhile,” you know you would Get while the gettin’ is good [Outro] Ba-doo, ba-da, come on through There’s a place right here for you Get while the gettin’ is good
