The song you seek is called "We're Here For A Good Time (Not A Long Time)" by Trooper http://www.geocities.com/godeltsihw/canada.PNG

It's from their 1977 album "Knock 'em Dead Kid" :)

Well, that wasn't very hard to find. Here it is:

We're Here For A Good Time (Not A Long Time) by Trooper

Lyrics By: Ra McGuire,  Music By: Brian Smith

A very good friend of mine
Told me something the other day
I'd like to pass it in to you
Cause I believe what he said to be true
He said

We're here for a good time
Not a long time (not a long time)
So have a good time
The sun can't shine every day

And the sun is shinin'
In this rainy city
And the sun is shinin'
Oooooh, isn't it a pity
And every year, has it's share of tears
And every now and then it's gotta rain

We're here for a good time
Not a long time
So have a good time
The sun can't shine every day

And the sun is shinin'
In this rainy city
And the sun is shinin'
Oooooh, isn't it a pity
That every year, has it's share of tears
Every now and then it's gotta rain

We're here for a good time
Not a long time
So have a good time
The sun can't shine every day




Here's a link to their official fansite, in case you're interested.

But I think you can also ask whistle (one of our members) for further details. ;)
