Hi everybody, I'm Archie Bell of the Drells, of Houston, Texas
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, I want you to tighten it up for me now
Oh, yeah, tighten up on that bass now
Tighten it up, 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
Look to your left, now, look to your right
Everybody can do it, but don't you get too tight
Come on and tighten up, let's tighten it up now
Let's tighten it up now, tighten it up
Let's do the Tighten Up, come and tighten it up
Tighten it up, now
Come on now, Billy, tighten it up, oh, yeah (yeah, sock it to 'em)
Sock it to me, now (kick, boy), tighten it up (kick)
Come on, tighten up that bass (kick, kick), oh yeah
(Just go on and tighten up, baby, come on)
Now look here, I want that guitar to fall in on there
Tighten it up now, oh yeah
Now tighten it up, organ, yeah
Now, everybody tighten it up now
Now look here, we gonna make it mellow for you now
We gonna make it mellow now
ย
Tighten it up, you can get it
Move to your left, move to your right
Tighten it up now, everything will be outta sight
Come on and tighten it up, tighten it up now
You can do it, so baby, get to it
