Let the good times roll, the bad times gone
The suns gonna shine, rise up, get on your feet
Let the good times roll, the sad times gone
Let the good times roll, pretty mama can't stop
Magnolia's soul
(Pretty mama gonna do your dance, come on)

Dear Magnolia, what's crackin'?
Been a long time since I last saw your face
Never forget the day out in the sticks
I saw your crescent smile in place

All the way from uptown, downtown, lakeside to river
Heard W don't care about them
Gotta watch who you make ya friend
Otherwise Fema will come through and back stab you again

Just some advice to lend, weak ties will bend
Through the dark true light will win
And they said that this the end
But we fixin' to make them saints march on again, come on

Let the good times roll, the bad times gone
The suns gonna shine, rise up, get on your feet
Let the good times roll, the sad times gone
Let the good times roll, pretty mama can't stop
Magnolia's soul

Polite little hurricane, called for she came
Officials knew the deal and they didn't do a thang
Knew her every move, yep Katrina was her name
Had the whole game in the palm of his hand

Hand in the pot, caught cold and oh
Should've fixed them damn levees long time ago
But they didn't take the chance to do it
Pitty pat between the pres and the mayor
Folks was dying too

A gang of us in the super dome, we're in the heat
Folks in wheelchairs feet swole, nothing to eat
So to the kids and the families that lost, I rhyme for
‘Nolia clap, show the world your soul

Let the good times roll, the bad times gone
The suns gonna shine, rise up, get on your feet
Let the good times roll, the sad times gone
Let the good times roll, pretty mama can't stop
Magnolia's soul
(I'ma let it roll, I'ma let it roll, come on)

Now say what, yeah
Gotta do your dance, come on
Yeah, say what, yeah
I'ma, I'ma, let it roll, come on, let it roll, come on
Pretty mama gonna do your dance, say a

So everybody clap them hands
Still steppin' to the second line band
Keep stompin' to the Zulu drum
You can't stop this native son

Oh, let the good times roll
Oh, let the good times roll, pretty mama can't stop
Magnolias soul
(Let the roll man, let them roll man)

Let the good times roll, the bad times gone
The suns gonna shine, rise up, get on your feet
Let the good times roll, the sad times gone
Let the good times roll, pretty mama can't stop
Magnolia's soul

Let the good times roll, the bad times gone
The suns gonna shine, rise up, get on your feet
Let the good times roll, the sad times gone
Let the good times roll, pretty mama can't stop
Magnolia's soul
