I believe in good times now
and I believe in shows
And I believe in the iron cross
and as everybody knows

I believe in good time music
yeah, good time rock ‘n’ roll
I believe in music, music, music
it’ll satisfy your soul, but –

Ah, I believe love (Good time music)
yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, now, I believe in love (Good time music)

I believe in party time
and I believe in soul
And I believe in temptation
and knock, knock, knocking at your door

And I believe in good times
yeah, good times rock ‘n’ roll
Yeah, I believe in music, music, music
it’ll satisfy your soul, but you know that –

Ah, I believe love (Good time music)
