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, 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 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 uptight
Come on and tighten up
Tighten it up now
Tighten it up now
Tighten it up

Do the the tighten up
C'mon and tighten it up
Tighten it up now

C'mon now Billie
