Mama use to always say
Life is only what you make of it
So if you feeling bad today
Why not go and celebrate?

So grab a glass and make a toast
To happiness, let's make the most

I don't know (I don't know) what you gonna do
But tonight, I'll have a good time (A good time)

Forget about (Forget about) what you going through
Tonight, let's have a good time (A good time)

What you, what you gonna do?
What you, what you gonna do?
Whoo-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Whoo-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Light it up and pour the wine
Do what you do to free your mind and if
Your problems ever seem to rise
Just leave 'em, leave 'em all behind

So lift your glass and make a toast
To happiness, let's make the most

I don't know (I don't know) what you gonna do
But tonight, I'll have a good time (A good time)

Forget about (Forget about) what you going through
Tonight, let's have a good time (A good time)

What you, what you gonna do?
What you, what you gonna do?

C'mon, break it down, break it down
C'mon, break it down, break it down
C'mon, break it on, break it on
Break it on down

Tell me what it's gonna be (What's it gonna be?)
Bring your money and your ID
The lights going up, no slowing up
Don't you wanna be free? (Don't ya wanna be free?)

Tell me what it's gonna be
Bring your money and your ID
The lights going up, no slowing up
Don't you wanna be free?

So grab a glass and make a toast
To happiness, let's make the most

I don't know (I don't know) what you gonna do
But tonight, I'll have a good time (A good time, a good time)

Forget about (Forget about) what you going through
Tonight, let's have a good time (A good time)

I don't know (I don't know) what you gonna do
But tonight, I'll have a good time (A good time)

Forget about (Forget about) what you going through
But tonight, I'll have a good time (A good time)

Kool & the Gang is an American jazz, R&B, soul, funk, and disco group from Jersey City. They were originally named the Jazziacs when they formed the group in 1964.

They went through several musical phases during their recording career, starting out with a purist jazz sound, then funk and R&B, progressing to a smooth pop-funk ensemble, and in the post-millennium creating music with a modern, electro-pop sound.

The group was becoming prominent in the music industry in the 1970s with hits such as “Holly Wood Swinging”, “Jungle Boogie” and “Summer Madness”. However they cemented their legendary status after the addition of lead vocalist James “J.T.” Taylor. With his help they went on to create classic hits such as “Ladies Night”, “Celebration”, “Get Down On It”, “Cherish” and countless others.
