Well, it was 'bout five till five on a Friday
We were all gettin' ready to go
The boss man started screamin'
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'
And I had to get away

Some days you gotta dance
Live it up when you get the chance
'Cause when the world doesn't make no sense
And you're feelin' just a little too tense
You gotta loosen up those chains and dance

Well, I was talkin' to my baby
Over a small glass of tea
She asked the loaded question
She said how do you feel about me?

Well, my mind was racin', I was pacin'
But the words, they never would come
And there was only one thing
Left to do I feel it comin' on

Some days you gotta dance
Live it up when you get the chance
'Cause when the world doesn't make no sense
And you're feelin' just a little too tense
Gotta loosen up those chains and dance, come on

Some days you gotta dance
Live it up when you get the chance
'Cause when the world doesn't make no sense
And you're feelin' just a little too tense
You gotta loosen up those chains and dance, ooh, yeah

You gotta loosen up those chains and dance, dance
Want you to loosen up those chains and dance with me
