"Good Times" is a song recorded by Eric Burdon & The Animals and released on the 1967 album Winds of Change, with music and lyrics by Eric Burdon, John Weider, Vic Briggs, Danny McCulloch and Barry Jenkins.

The lyrics are built around a story of a man who has spent too much time drinking, fighting, sinning, and boozing, when he should have been thinking, winning and gaining. In the chorus, the man reflects: "When I think of all the good times that I've wasted having good times."

The single reached number 20 on the UK Singles Chart, but failed to chart in the U.S.
