TV Theme – Good Times lyrics
OPENING THEME LYRICS

Good Times.
Any time you meet a payment. - Good Times.
Any time you need a friend. - Good Times.
Any time you're out from under.
Not getting hassled, not getting hustled.
Keepin' your head above water,
Making a wave when you can.

Temporary lay offs. - Good Times.
Easy credit rip offs. - Good Times.
Scratchin' and surviving. - Good Times.
Hangin in a chow line - Good Times.
Ain't we lucky we got 'em - Good Times.

CLOSING THEME LYRICS

Mmmmmm
Just lookin' out of the window.
Watchin' the asphalt grow.
Thinkin' how it all looks hand-me-down.
Good Times, yeah, yeah Good Times

Keepin' your head above water
Makin' a wave when you can

Temporary lay offs. - Good Times.
Easy credit rip offs. - Good Times.
Ain't we lucky we got 'em - Good Times.

    The part "Hangin in a chow line - Good Times." is incorrect. It should read "Hangin' in and Jivin' - Good Times."
    So many sites have this wrong, but from the writers themselves, it is the latter that is correct. Here is that part of the writers explaining it.

    You wrote the lyrics to the Good Times theme. Have you seen the Chappelle's Show skit "I Know Black People"?
    Both: No!
    Chappelle played a quiz-show host, testing contestants' knowledge of black culture. The question that stumped them all involved a lyric from "Good Times," "hangin' in a chow line."
    Marilyn: Well there's no such line!
    Alan: It's "hanging out and jiving."
    Marilyn: No, it's "hanging in and jiving." I have to look it up. Norman Lear asked us to write a theme for that show, as he did for. What else?
    Alan: Maude!
    Marilyn: Yes. But for Good Times, he didn't have a title. We came up with it for the song—
    Alan: And Quincy Jones sang the demo.
