Hi everybody. I'm Archie Drell and the Drells from Houston, Texas. We don't
only sing but we dance 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 to.

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.

Ya, do the tighten up. Yeah now.
I said if you can do it now,
It sure would be tough.

Now look here. Come on now. Make it mellow.
Let's tighten up now. Do the tighten up.
Everybody can do it now. So let's do it.
We're gonna tighten up. Let's do the tighten up.
You can do it now. So baby get to it.

Let's do your left now. Let's do your right.
You can do it. But don'tcha just do it light.
Come on and tighten up. Tighten it up now.

Come on now drum. Tighten it up.
Tighten up that bass. Oh yeah

(Oh, no, I just can't stop)
I just can't stop dancin' (No, no, no)
I just can't stop dancin' (No, no, no)
I just can't stop dancin'
There's a place I eat lunch every day
Soon as I get there, the jukebox starts to play
I can't even eat my lunch in peace
'Cause music makes me get out of my seat
I just can't stop dancin' (No, no, I don't want to stop)
I just can't stop dancin' (No, no, no)
Music has a strange effect on me
It doesn't matter wherever I may be
Whenever I hear a drummer play that funky beat
I drop everything and get out of my seat
I just can't stop dancin' (Oh, no, I just can't stop)
I just can't stop dancin' (No, no, no)
I just can't stop dancin' (Oh, no, I don't stop)
I just can't stop dancin' (No, no, no, oh)
Let me put this hamburger down
I don't want no malt
I want to dance
Oh, yeah
Sho' nuff groovin' now, why'all, look at me
Huh-huh, oh, yeah
I just can't stop dancin' (No, no, you can't make me stop)
I just can't stop dancin' (I won't stop now, I just can't stop this)
I just can't stop dancin' (No, no, no, no, don't make me stop why'all)
I just can't stop dancin' (No, no, I'm not gonna stop)
I just can't stop dancin' (No, no, no, don't make me stop, why'all)
I just can't stop dancin' (No, no, no, oh, no)
I just can't stop dancin'
