[Intro: Adam Young & Carly Rae Jepsen]
Hmm-mmm-mmm
Woah-oh-oh-oh
It's always a good time
Woah-oh-oh-oh
It's always a good time
[Verse 1: Adam Young & Carly Rae Jepsen]
Woke up on the right side of the bed
What's up with this Prince song inside my head?
Hands up, if you're down to get down tonight (Hmm-mmm-mmm)
'Cause it's always a good time
Slept in all my clothes, like I didn't care
Hopped into a cab, take me anywhere
I'm in if you're down to get down tonight
'Cause it's always a good time
[Pre-Chorus: Adam Young & Carly Rae Jepsen, Both]
Good morning and goodnight
I wake up at twilight
It's gonna be alright
We don't even have to try, it's always a good time (Woo!)
[Chorus: Adam Young & Carly Rae Jepsen, Both]
Woah-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh-oh
It's always a good time
Woah-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
We don't even have to try, it's always a good time
(Good time, good time, it's always a good time)
(Woah-oh-oh-oh)
[Verse 2: Carly Rae Jepsen]
Freaked out, dropped my phone in the pool again
Checked out of my room, hit the ATM
Let's hang out if you're down to get down tonight
'Cause it's always a good time
[Pre-Chorus: Adam Young & Carly Rae Jepsen, Both]
Good morning and goodnight
I wake up at twilight
It's gonna be alright
We don't even have to try, it's always a good time (Woo!)
[Chorus: Adam Young & Carly Rae Jepsen]
Woah-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh-oh
It's always a good time
Woah-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
We don't even have to try, it's always a good time
Woah-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh-oh
It's always a good time
Woah-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
We don't even have to try, it's always a good time
[Bridge: Adam Young & Carly Rae Jepsen, Minneapolis Youth Chorus]
Doesn't matter when
It's always a good time then
Doesn't matter where
It's always a good time there
Doesn't matter when
It's always a good time then
(It's always a good time!)
[Chorus: Adam Young & Carly Rae Jepsen]
Woah-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh-oh
It's always a good time
Woah-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
We don't even have to try, it's always a good time
Woah-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh (Doesn't matter where)
Woah-oh-oh-oh
It's always a good time
Woah-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh (Doesn't matter where)
We don't even have to try, it's always a good time
[Outro: Minneapolis Youth Chorus]
Woah-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh
It's always a good time
Woah-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
