Hi everybody

We don't only sing, but we dance just as good as we walk
In Houston we just started a new dance called the Tighten Up
This is the music we tighten up with

First tighten up on the drums
Come on now, drummer

Oh, yeah

Tighten up on that bass now
Tighten it up
Ha, ha, yeah
Now let that guitar fall in
Oh, yeah
Tighten up on that organ now

Yeah, you do the tighten up
Yeah, now
I said, if you can do it now
It sure would be tough
Now look here, come on now
Now make it mellow

Let's tighten it up now
Do the Tighten Up
Everybody can do it now
So get to it

We're gonna tighten up
Let's do the Tighten Up
You can do it now
So baby, get to it

Come on and tighten up
Let's tighten it up now
Let's tighten it up now
Tighten it up

Come and tighten it up
Tighten it up now

Come on now, Billy
