Lyrics
Tonight I’m gonna have myself a real good time
I feel alive
And the world, I’ll turn it inside out, yeah
I’m floating around in ecstasy
So (Don’t stop me now)
(Don’t stop me)
‘Cause I’m having a good time
Having a good timeI’m a shooting star, leaping through the sky like a tiger
Defying the laws of gravity
I’m a racing car, passing by like Lady Godiva
I’m gonna go, go, go, there’s no stopping meI’m burning through the sky, yeah
Two hundred degrees, that’s why they call me Mister Fahrenheit
I’m travelling at the speed of light
I wanna make a supersonic man outta you(Don’t stop me now)
I’m having such a good time, I’m having a ball
(Don’t stop me now)
If you wanna have a good time, just give me a call

‘Cause I’m having a good time
(Don’t stop me now)
Yes, I’m having a good time
I don’t wanna stop at all, yeahI’m a rocket ship on my way to Mars on a collision course
I am a satellite, I’m out of control
I’m a sex machine, ready to reload like an atom bomb
About to oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, explodeI’m burning through the sky, yeah
