It was about five-to-five on Friday We were all gettin' ready to go And the boss-man started screamin' And his veins began to show He said: You and you, come with me 'Cause you're gonna have to stay My heart was thumpin', I was jumpin' I had to get away Some days, you gotta dance Live it up, when ya get the chance 'Cause when the world doesn't make-a-no sense And you're feelin' just a little too tense Ya gotta loosen-up those chains and dance Well, I was talkin' a-with my baby Over a small glass o' tea And he asked the loaded question He said: How do ya feel about me? My mind was a-racin', I was a-pacin' The words just wouldn't come And there was only one thing left to do I feel it comin' on Some days, you gotta dance Live it up, when ya get the chance 'Cause when the world doesn't make-a-no sense And you're feelin' just a little too tense Ya gotta loosen-up those chains and dance, ha-ha Some days, you gotta dance Live it up, when ya get the chance 'Cause when the world doesn't make-a-no sense And you're feelin' just a little too tense Ya gotta loosen-up those chains and dance You gotta loosen-up those chains and dance Come on and loosen-up those chains and dance
