Archie Bell & The Drells Tighten Up, Pt. 1 (LP Version) lyrics

Hi everybody, I'm Archie Bell of the Drells<br />
Of Houston, Texas, we don't only sing but we dance<br />
Just as good as we walk, In Houston we just started<br />
a new dance called the Tighten Up, This is the music<br />
We tighten up with, first tighten up on the drums<br />
<br />
Come on now, drummer, I want you to tighten it up<br />
For me now, oh, yeah, tighten up on that bass, now<br />
Tighten it up, Ha, ha, yeah, now let that guitar fall in<br />
Oh, yeah, Tighten up on that organ now<br />
<br />
Yeah, you do the tighten up, yeah, now<br />
I said, if you can do it now, It sure would be tough<br />
Now look here, come on now<br />
Now make it mellow<br />

Let's tighten it up now<br />
