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
