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
