Hi everybody, I'm Archie Bell

Of the Drells from 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

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

Tighten it up now

Tighten it up now

Tighten it up

Tighten it up

Come and tighten it up

Tighten it up now

Come on now, Billy

Tighten it up, oh, yeah

Sock it to me now

Tighten it up

Tighten up that bass, oh, yeah

Now look here, I want that

Guitar to fall in on that

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

Tighten it up

You can get it

Look to the left

Look 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

We gonna make it mellow now.

Tighten up. You can tighten up.
