A Mellow Good Time Lyrics by Lee Dorsey

Working in the Coal Mine - Holy Cow

1966

[Intro]
Aw let's have a mellow good time
Ha ha that’s what I'm talkin' about baby, you’re lookin' good
[Verse 1]
When evening shadows fall
And the sun no longer shines
Ah-we gonna get, get together
And we gonna have a mellow good time
(That's what I'm talkin' about baby)
(Let's live long and party strong)
(Ha ha, you got it, baby, you got it)
(Mmm)
[Verse 2]
We're gonna rock 'em back at a happy jive
Ah we can’t stay too long mama, or we’ll be moving on
Open up the city, cover the town
We're gonna rock the pony, yeah, all around
Now hold it
(Ha ha ha that’s what I'm talkin' about baby)
(You lookin' good)
(Aw let’s live dangerous)
(Mmm mmm, ha ha ha)
[Verse 3]
When we strike the groove we're gonna pay our dues
To the r.f.o.p
We need a rest from over participation
So come along with me, hey yeah
[Outro]
It's gone be alright too baby
Ha ha that's what I'm talkin' about
Mmm, ha ha ha ha
Mmm mmm
