Hi everybody

First tighten up on the drums
Come on now, drummer

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

It sure would be tough
Now look here, come on now
Now make it mellow

Let's tighten it up now

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

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

Come and tighten it up
Tighten it up now

Come on now, Billy
