Default Opening lyrics

Does anyone know the opening lyrics?
I looked them up on the internet and one line is different than what I heard on the Dave Chappelle show.
It's toward the end It says "hangin' in a jury" Good Times.
Dave said it was "hangin' in a chow line." Good Times.

Good Times.
Any time you meet a payment.
Good Times.
Any time you need a friend.
Good Times.
Any time you're out from under.

Not getting hastled, not getting hustled.
Keepin' your head above water,
Making a wave when you can.

Temporary lay offs.
Good Times.
Easy credit rip offs.
Good Times.
Scratchin' and surviving.
Good Times.
Hangin in a chow line
Good Times.
Ain't we lucky we got 'em
Good Times.

I always thought it was "hanging and jiving" (laying around with friends, talking about nothing). Wouldn't "Waiting in a chow line" sound even better and make even more since than "Hanging in a chow line?"

Where did you find the hangin and jivin? When I looked them up it said hangin in a jury. Hangin and jivin makes more sense.
